What happens to a bottle of wine after the last glass is poured? It could take 10,000 years to break down.


In this episode of The Greaterverse, Anne-Marie Kruk is joined by Paul Gabie, founder and CEO of ecoSPIRITS, a company developing innovative circular packaging solutions for the wine and spirits industry.


Together, Anne-Marie and Paul explore why more than 70 billion single-use wine and spirits bottles end up in landfill every year, why recycling alone isn't enough, and how innovation, collaboration and commercial thinking can help create a more sustainable future.


In this conversation, you will learn:

  • Why more than 700 billion single use glass units are produced and consumed every year
  • Why recycling alone isn't enough to solve the problem
  • What a circular economy actually looks like in practice
  • How ecoSPIRITS is rethinking the future of wine and spirits packaging
  • Why sustainability and commercial success must go hand in hand
