Stackable container for selective collection of glass bottles. MKT2019/0171_ E
New and customizable system to collect glass bottles. This system allows an easy operation of loading, transporting, and unloading the bottles in the treatment plant before subsequent reuse. It reduces the contamination caused by the process for the production of new bottles, contributes to reducing the cost of waste management, and implies cost savings for producers of wine and beer bottles.

El repte/The challenge
Reuse is shown as a more economical and ecological alternative to the material recycling coming from glass containers, particularly because of its high consumption, of wine and beer bottles.
Therefore, there is interest and need to implement management systems for the effective reuse of this type of glass containers and, as a consequence, of infrastructures for selective collection, transport, and treatments.
Containers for the selective collection of glass bottles should facilitate said operation and prevent their breakage while allowing efficient management of their collection, transport, treatment, and replacement.
