govino PRODUCT INFORMATION

Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. The govino shatterproof wine glass was originally created as a trade tool to help professional salespeople showcase their wines whenever and wherever proper stemware isn't accessible – which as we learned firsthand, is often! Once we began testing the market, we realized there was an even bigger need for govino in the consumer sector, particularly at settings where breakable glass is an issue. After all, how many times have we all had to endure drinking good wine from bad glasses?

Why does the govino wine glass look and perform like crystal???

The govino wine glass is made from a proprietary, food/pharmaceutical safe polymer, only it is superior in that it reflects the wine's color and aromatics much like crystal. It is recyclable (#1) but better yet it is reusable.

govino - OUR GREEN CREDENTIALS

• PETG is 100 % recyclable #1.
Plastics to avoid for food and drink type activities include #3, #6 and #7 ( most polycarbonates & acrylic )

• PETG is derived from a 100% sustainable energy source.

• PETG is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, A-PET is non-toxic, 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. If incinerated, A-PET combusts completely, creating only water and carbon dioxide.

• Polyester PETG has outstanding thermoforming properties, combining low energy consumption, short production cycles, extreme draw ratios which al allow for a minimal carbon footprint.

• PETG is found in markets where customers are looking to produce "environmentally friendly” products.
Weight reduction is vital in reducing a product’s carbon footprint. A govino glass made from PETG weighs in at 40g and 210g for a 4 pack tote. A generic wine glass made from glass weighs 130g per glass, or 650g for a 4 pack.
A lighter weight, as is the case with govino, means that carbon emissions during transporting are reduced. In addition, sturdier packaging is needed to transport heavier traditional wine glasses, which not only uses more paper, but also impacts the carbon emissions produced through transporting.

• Our carbon footprint is calculated at 0.600kg of carbon per 5040 units delivered while the average wine glass is calculated at 210kg per 5040 units.
