How to recycle Kitl bottles

How are our Kitl bottles recycled?

Almost 2/3 of the glass used on the Kitl bottles comes from recycled material. Keep it in circulation!

• Throw the empty bottle with the label and the lid into the glass container
• The worker at the sorting belt removes large pieces of everything, that doesn´t belong to the glass
• At the next station, the bottles are crushed into smaller pieces
• Remnants of paper labels and cork are removed by abrasion, strong suction and the residue burns in the furnace as it melts
• The remnants of magnetic metals are removed from the closures by means of a strong magnet
• Optical machines remove other impurities such as stones, chunks of porcelain or bricks
• The metal detector detects bits of non-magnetic metals and the air jets blow them out
• The worker checks the mixture of crushed shards, which will then be melted and applied to new bottles
