Aware of the importance of increasing the glass recycling rate in Mexico, Grupo Modelo today presented some initiatives that will allow it to increase up to 30 thousand tons of glass recycling over two years.
Approximately 70% of the packaging of Grupo Modelo products is returnable, which avoids the production of 1.6 million tons of glass. In addition, the company's glass windows have a system for reintegration into the production process, which allows all glass waste caused by defects or failures to be reused, adding approximately 200 thousand tons of this material.
However, Grupo Modelo has implemented France Mobile Number List a management process so that glass bottles that are not used in agencies and breweries return to the shop windows and are recycled. With this action, it has been possible to use up to approximately 103 thousand tons of glass per year.
It is estimated that 3.2 million tons of glass are produced annually in Mexico, which, although they represent only 6% of the waste generated in the country, the approximate recycling rate of this material is only 13%.
Grupo Modelo signed an agreement with Walmart whose purpose is that the flow of its consumers nationwide can recycle their glass containers more easily. Soon, the brewer will begin installing collection centers in different Walmart stores around the country, starting with Mexico City. Likewise, Grupo Modelo was also part of the Reciclamanía project , an intersectoral movement led by Walmart that allowed 721kg of glass to be recycled.
As part of other actions regarding glass recycling, the brewery carried out an agreement with 21 bars and restaurants in Mexico City, for which it already has collection routes for consumed glass for recycling, a project whose number and radius of operation continues to expand:
“We are working every day so that the number of bars and restaurants allied with the recycling program grows, calculating that these efforts can reach hundreds of establishments throughout the country in the next two years,” commented Gabriel Maia, Director of Packaging and Sustainability of Grupo Modelo.
Additionally, the company announced an alliance with ECOCE, an environmental association that will make its first major alliance related to glass, through the Glass Committee. This agreement will aim to increase the recycling of this material in the country, developing the market and working with key players, to ensure that the greatest amount of food grade glass returns to Grupo Modelo's windows to be recycled.
In April 2018, Grupo Modelo launched its new global sustainability goals for 2025, better known as Platform 100+, which focus on four pillars: Smart agriculture, water management, circular packaging and climate action. The main goal within the Circular Packaging pillar is that by 2025, 100% of its products contain packaging in a returnable format, or made with greater recycled content.
