28 Oct 2022 --- Bacardi is cutting 140 metric tons of single-use plastic annually by removing plastic pourers from its bottles in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Spain and Portugal. The plastic Non-Refillable Fitment (NRF) is commonplace throughout the spirits industry and is currently found in the neck of a number of the company’s iconic drink brands, including Bacardi rum, Martini Fiero, Bombay Sapphire gin and Dewar’s White Label blended Scotch whisky. The removal has already begun, and by early next year, all 1.75 L bottles of Bacardi rum – including Superior, Gold and Coconut – in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico will no longer contain the plastic pourer, cutting 76 metric tons of plastic annually.
