Gin drinkers missing out on cash by throwing away empty gin bottles

On average 75 million bottles of gin are consumed by Britons every year, with many of those going straight to the dustbin once empty. Data analysts Lifestyle Packaging shared their findings on how much cash these gin lovers are missing out on.

Gordon’s London Dry Gin

The world’s bestselling gin is a stable in many bars, pubs and households which retails at a more affordable £15.50.

Retail-wise this is one of the cheapest gins that were studied but saw a relatively high 30 percent (£4.65) cashback opportunity.

Eden Mill Golf Gin

DONT MISS: 

One of the more decorative bottles on this list, it is packaged in a green jack resembling the prestigious golfing tournament the Masters Champions.

This is also one of the few gins that are made from start to finish by hand on one work site and fetches around £30 in the marketplace.

Gin drinkers can find a pleasant 29 percent (£8.82) of their cashback by selling this unique bottle on eBay.

Mermaid Blue Gin

One of the cheaper gins to look out for, the Blood Orange will cost consumers around £26 per bottle but can also see 27 percent (£7.11) of that cash back in their pocket by selling the empty bottle.

Lifestyle Packaging also noted in their research that by selling a combination of empty bottles altogether can raise the price of the collection and help sellers stave off costs like shipping.

Additionally, it’s important to note that the gin bottles should be thoroughly cleaned before being sold with warm soapy water and use protective packaging for their delivery.
