Sorting & washing
Twenty machines for sorting and rinsing, 37,000 sorted bottles per hour, and returnable bottles that can be reused up to 30 times before being melted down again. Now that’s circular.
The process
Hundreds of empty bottles, one circular solution.
Belgium is the country of beer par excellence. As a Belgian family business, we like to enjoy a delicious drink, just like you. And we want to keep it that way. But things could be more ecological.
All drinks manufacturers want to distinguish themselves with their own unique bottles, which come in all shapes and sizes. Not to mention the more than 500 different crates on the Belgian market. Admittedly, sorting and rinsing empty bottles is a challenge for drinking establishments and breweries alike. Some prefer to operate manually, and others might simply not have enough rinsing machines. And that’s why we’ve developed a fully automated process where sorted and rinsed bottles end up in the right crate. We work with sustainability and efficiency as our starting point – to save time, space, raw materials and CO2 emissions.
The right bottles in the right crates.
We pick up the crates and take out the empty bottles. Then the bottles pass through our control system where they are individually photographed. The carefully sorted empty bottles are washed before being placed on a pallet or in the right crate – ready to go back into circulation.
