Atlantic Bottle Wash is launching a service to provide several Nova Scotia breweries cleaned, recycled bottles at a lower cost than what they are currently paying for their bottle supply.
Currently, breweries either use new bottles for every packaging run or they purchase and truck in pre-washed recycled bottles from Quebec. Atlantic Bottle Wash is located in Dartmouth and retrieves four to five million bottles a year and sorts, cleans and palletizes each one. The service will save breweries 25 to 30 cents per bottle.
The facility will be providing bottles to three local breweries, — Propeller, Garrison and Boxing Rock — but the company hopes to expand its bottle formats to increase the number of breweries it supplies to in the future.
