The closing event and presentation of the results of the Supra-regional Operational Group Rebo2Vino "Circular economy for the reuse of glass bottles in the wine sector: Analysis of impacts and feasibility, and design of digital tools" (2022 call) will take place on February 26 in Madrid , where the main results and conclusions drawn will be reviewed.

The project ends in March 2025 and has been underway for almost 29 months. Two pilot tests were conducted (in Catalonia and Jerez) and all Life Cycle Assessment impact categories were analyzed to determine the environmental and economic feasibility of implementing a potential reuse model in the wine sector. Furthermore, the main barriers and critical points were identified, and a series of tools were developed that will assist in future national implementation.

The FEV (Federal Agricultural and Food Service) has a very positive assessment of this project, considered strategic for the sector at the national level, and which lays the foundation for continued progress and scaling up results at the European level. We would like to thank the Directorate General for Rural Development, Innovation and Agri-Food Training for its support of this Operational Group, whose funding through the EU Next Generation Funds has been key to the development of the project and achieving the expected results.

The closing ceremony is scheduled for 1:00 p.m., followed by an aperitif where the pilot's wines will be displayed along with the reusable bottle designed for the project.
