Sustainability Initiatives
The brand has taken steps to incorporate sustainability into its operations, including using recyclable packaging and sourcing its ingredients responsibly. This aspect of the brand has been a significant part of its storytelling, resonating with environmentally conscious consumers.
Refill Pouches
Refillable drink pouches have gained popularity for making beverage storage and consumption more sustainable for both brands and consumers. Brixton Gin aimed to appeal to eco-conscious shoppers by offering a six-pack of pouches that customers could enjoy and then return for reuse. The pouches can be Freepost recycled by consumers, with Poucher handling the collection, sorting, and recycling process.
Poucher’s solution produces just 10% of the CO2 emissions compared to an equivalent glass bottle. When paired with a sustainable corrugated transit box, Brixton Gin can ship its popular spirits while significantly cutting its carbon footprint. This initiative aligns perfectly with our environmental goals and sustainability commitments.
Brixton Gin refill pouches are offered as a 70cl spout pouch & 50ml spout pouch. Each with centre spouts, making them the perfect product for events, travels or home use.
