All-Encompassing Approach to Recycling at Bacardi
- 10 years ago
Bacardi Bottling Corporation in Jacksonville, Florida, is a constant whirl of activity. Here, the world’s favorite BACARDÍ® rum goes through the final stages of blending before it is bottled and boxed for distribution across the United States.
A glimpse inside the facility reveals a highly efficient, carefully orchestrated production rhythm. The myriad of materials involved in the bottling of BACARDÍ rum are recycled. Sustainability is a daily focus for the close to 200 employees working on the bottling lines, on the grounds and in the offices.
The sole bottling plant for BACARDÍ rum branded products enjoyed in the United States recycles almost everything generated or used in the manufacturing process: glass, plastic, aluminum, paper, and even wastewater. “Every single thing we do is to divert waste from landfills,” explains Jacksonville-based Operations Development Manager Jennifer Eckberg. “It’s the right thing to do.”
