| These examples of Cola & Pola, Club Colombia, Leona and Brava, show examples of packaging no longer used by Bavaria. |
With the goal of maintaining international quality standards and to continue working towards an active bottle reuse, Bavaria will exchange bottles and old crates up to the 30th of April, through the Deposit System (COP$100 per bottle and COP$3.000 per crate).
After this date it will stop receiving substandard empties, which can be defined as bottles and crates that are not in a good enough condition to go to market again and that must be destroyed and replaced.
Bavaria has invested two years and more than COP$300.000m in changing all the old bottles into “super returnables” new models that are focused on improving the relationship between the economy and environment.
The Company has, therefore, launched a campaign that aims to generate greater awareness about the importance of handling the returnable bottles and plastic crates properly, while at the same time improving the quality of these high-demand products and extending their useful life.
