[dropcap type=”background”]5[/dropcap] Sustainability
Though not necessarily important to the silky and pure taste of Elyx, sustainability is of course important in alcohol production. Elyx are quick to point out that rather than jumping on a “trend”, it has always been environmentally conscious in its practices, focusing on four goals: reducing energy consumption; the environmental impact of its wheat farming; emissions from transportation and water consumption, as well as other small steps it takes as a company such as recycling, which can be anything to staff recycling small things or the leftover stillage, which is fed to local cows and pigs.
It doesn’t stop there, the byproduct of CO2 from fermentation is supplied to soft drink companies; the electricity used comes from a combination of hydro and wind generated energy and even up to forty per cent of each Elyx bottle is made from recycled glass, among other thoughtful and environmentally conscious practices.
