Reducing the amount of glass used for packaging while retaining the qualities that make this material so successful: this is the key advantage of lightweight glass wine bottles.
With the Fifty Light 50 cl BVS 30H60, Univerre offers a bottle designed to meet this growing market trend. Inspired by our renowned Désirée bottle, it combines an elegant design with a particularly low weight: just 290 grams.
An interesting solution for producers looking to reduce the amount of material used for their packaging without giving up the benefits of glass.
Fifty Light 50 cl: just 290 grams of glass
The main feature of the Fifty Light 50 cl is its weight. At just 290 grams, it requires less material than a heavier conventional glass bottle.
But its benefits do not stop there: it is also manufactured using 55% recycled glass.
The Fifty Light therefore combines several key features:
- just 290 grams;
- 55% recycled glass;
- a reduction in the amount of glass required for its production;
- a BVS 30H60 screw closure;
- available in white and oak;
- a design inspired by the Désirée bottle.
One VMF pallet contains 2,086 bottles.
Why choose a lightweight glass wine bottle?
Packaging weight is a key issue for the beverage industry today. Reducing the weight of a bottle can help decrease the amount of raw materials required for its production.
A lighter bottle also offers an advantage during transportation: for the same number of bottles, the overall weight of the packaging being transported is reduced. This can help limit the resources required for transportation and is also an advantage when shipping bottles by parcel.
At the same time, glass retains its essential qualities as a packaging material: it protects the product, preserves its quality and remains recyclable.
Less material without compromising on design
Choosing a lightweight bottle does not necessarily mean compromising on appearance.
The Fifty Light is a good example. Inspired by the shape of our Désirée range, it retains an elegant silhouette while reducing its weight.
Producers can therefore reduce the weight of their packaging while retaining an attractive bottle that is perfectly suited to marketing their wine.
A bottle designed to reduce packaging materials
For several years, Univerre has been expanding its range of lightweight glass bottles to offer beverage producers a variety of alternatives.
The principle is simple: when a reusable bottle is not suitable for a particular product or distribution channel, reducing the amount of glass used for a single-use bottle provides another way to reduce the impact of packaging.
The Fifty Light is fully aligned with this approach, combining low weight with the use of recycled glass.
This development can also be highlighted to consumers. Choosing lighter packaging allows a brand to make its efforts to reduce resource consumption more visible and to integrate packaging more closely into its environmental strategy.
Fifty Light: a single-use bottle
It is important to distinguish between lightweighting and reuse.
The Fifty Light is a single-use bottle. Due to its characteristics, it is not designed for industrial washing and subsequent reuse.
It must therefore not be placed in Univerre crates intended for the collection and washing of reusable bottles.
For producers wishing to implement a reuse system, other bottle models suitable for industrial washing are available.
