October Sustainable Gin Competition

Why is Mermaid Gin sustainable?

Their iconic bottle is made from 100% natural materials, is plastic-free, strong enough to be reused and a thing of beauty to be cherished.  The neck seal is made from corn and potato starch (composts in food waste recycling within 6-12 weeks).   The cork is sustainable sourced Portuguese cork and wooden stopper.  The label is crafted from recycled paper.   Boxes are designed to hold and protect without plastic packaging.  They use 100% renewable energy and they only buy plant-based and eco-friendly cleaning products.

Isle of Wight Distillery supports Seagrass Restoration in the Solent.  It’s estimated that 92% of seagrass meadows have been lost in the last 100 years.  These incredible plants sequester carbon at an astounding rate and shelter a wealth of wildlife creating ecosystems beneath the waters.  IOW Distillery work with Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust to monitor and restore these meadows in the water surrounding their island.
