Vodka 360: World's First Eco Luxury Vodka {Luxist}
Mar 31st 2008 9:35AM The 360 Vodka website explains why the product is eco-friendly -- they use locally grown grains to cut down on fuel transmissions, their state-of-the-art operations capture the carbon dioxide produced by distillation, and the process consumes 200% less energy. The bottle is made of 85% recycled glass (most recycled glass contains only 34% recycled) and the labels are made from recycled paper and water or soy-based inks.
I also read that their billboards are taken down and sewn into shopping bags at McCormick's expense. And they donate money to environmental groups through their "360 Close the Loop" program.
Hump Day Happy Hour: "Green" Cocktails {Slashfood}
Aug 3rd 2007 5:27PM 360 Vodka's distillery is based in Weston, MO, and the locally grown grains are from farms in northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri. I think this would qualify as a green solution, since it does help in reducing the emission of fossil fuels during transportation.
