ecoSPIRITS

Hvad har mælkemanden med jeres næste konference at gøre? På Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center er vi begyndt at skåle lidt anderledes. I stedet for spiritus på engangsflasker får vi nu leveret spiritus via ecoSPIRITS – et cirkulært system, hvor indholdet kommer i 4,5 liters ecoTOTEs, der kan genbruges op til 150 gange. Det betyder, at én ecoTOTE i sin levetid kan erstatte mere end 1.000 glasflasker, som ellers ville ryge i containeren og blive omsmeltet med høj CO₂-udledning til følge. Kort sagt: mindre spild, mindre energi, mindre CO₂ – samme gode oplevelse i glasset. Som en del af Arp-Hansen Hotel Group er vi forpligtet til SBTi. Vi er derfor hele tiden på udkig efter nye veje til at arbejde smartere og mere bæredygtigt. Som Lea Kvistgaard fortæller i videoen: “Det gør vi bedst ved at gøre de bæredygtige valg enkle for både vores gæster og for vores medarbejdere – og her hjælper ecoTOTE-systemet os rigtig godt på vej.” Når I vælger Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center til jeres møder og konferencer, vælger I derfor ikke kun professionelle rammer – I vælger også en partner, der tager ansvar for sit klimaaftryk.

Have you seen the list? The #GlobalCleantech100, our annual barometer on trends and sentiments related to global cleantech innovation, has just been released.   In the Trend Watch, Research Manager Anthony DeOrsey Jr. unpacks what the "Pressure Cooker" effect could mean for 2026. The cleantech landscape is evolving from a decarbonization-first, policy-driven era into one centered on economic durability, continuity, and predictability—shaped by AI infrastructure, critical minerals, grid resilience, and water security. Despite headwinds, a longer-term view shows cleantech investment remains far more robust than a decade ago and still exceeds pre-pandemic levels.

At London Packaging Week today, Miranda Essex, innovation lead, sustainability, and Sophie Lees-Millais, circular partnership manager, from Diageo shared how the company is rethinking packaging systems to build a more circular, resilient future for drinks. “Transitioning to a circular model isn’t a packaging tweak—it’s a business transformation,” said Essex. Diageo’s goal is to decouple business growth from resource use while creating value for consumers, customers, and the planet. To this end, Diageo has implemented two refill strategies to drive change: 1. ecoSPIRITS: Closed-Loop Reuse for Bars A partnership that replaces single-use bottles with 4.5-L ecoTotes, enables bars to refill on-site. Key learnings: ·     Simplicity matters—bartenders need easy systems that fit into service flow. ·     Sustainable serves sold through ecoSPIRITS were twice as likely to be ordered as traditional cocktails. ·     Scaling reuse depends on collaboration with wholesalers and distributors to close the loop. “We’re moving from a highly efficient linear supply chain to one that’s circular, and that takes partners, data, and persistence,” noted Lees-Millais. 2. Everloop: Diageo’s Automated Refill System Developed in-house, Everloop automatically refills branded spirit bottles in the bar from reusable kegs. Each keg replaces up to 500 glass bottles and can cut emissions by over 50%. Explained Essex, “We started by listening, really understanding bartender pain points and designing a system that makes their lives easier.” Early pilots show: ·     Major time savings for bartenders—“the flow is never interrupted.” ·     Lower costs for venues through reduced glass handling and disposal. ·     Real-time tracking and leak detection via connected, RFID-enabled systems. Diageo’s journey so far has offered valuable lessons in scaling circularity. Building data alignment across teams—from procurement to supply—has been essential in creating confidence in new systems and measuring real impact. Experimentation has also played a central role, with every pourer, shelf, and keg design tested in real bars to understand what works best in practice. Embedding culture change across the organization has been just as critical, ensuring circularity becomes part of everyday business rather than a sustainability side project. Ultimately, collaboration across the wider industry will determine how fast and how far this transformation can go. “It has to be an everyone-in effort,” said Lees-Millais. “We want a future where reuse is the norm for spirits around the world.” #LPW25 #circulareconomy #circularpackaging #sustainablepackaging #refillablepackaging #reusablepackaging #spiritspackaging
