Introducing New Zealand’s FIRST fully recyclable refill pouches
Sustainability is at the forefront of how we do business at Broken Heart Spirits. Seeing first-hand how wasteful the beverage industry can be, and acknowledging the need for change, we committed to becoming a leader in this space in New Zealand
After a lot of blood, sweat and gins we have created our fully recyclable refill pouches and ‘Bottle for Life’ concept, creating a super recycling scheme enabling and encouraging you to refill your iconic Broken Heart Spirits bottles.
There are multiple benefits to this process, so read more below to understand how you can help us work towards lowering our carbon footprint for a more sustainable future.

Step One: Reuse

Don’t throw it away – save your Broken Heart ‘Bottle for Life’.
Beautiful and robust, our bottles are designed to be reused time and time again.
Step Two: Refill

Purchase a Broken Heart Refill Pouch
Our lightweight refill pouches cost less to produce than bottles, enabling us to pass this saving on to our customers. Easier to transport and fully recyclable, the pouches reduce our overall carbon footprint, a win win situation for you, us and the planet.
Step Three: Recycle

Once you have filled your ‘Bottle for Life’, return your pouch to any Soft Plastic Recycling Scheme. We are also happy to accept returns direct to the Distillery and the Gin Garden Tasting Room in Queenstown.
Step Four: Give Back

We don’t just walk the walk, we talk the talk!
The New Zealand Government has set a goal to plant a billion trees by 2028, and we want to help them do that. Broken Heart Spirits has partnered with Trees that Count, dedicating funds raised by selling refill pouches to supporting local native tree planting projects.
