Our Gili bottles would love to get a second live in your home, so re -use your empty ones and help us move towards a 100% circular economy.

Here's how to give Gili bottles a new life:

1. Make your own Kombucha

Ending up with your last drops of Gili Ginger Elixir? It's just like the last piece of pizza.. Everyone wants it, but nobody dares to take it. Don't you worry, you can just go to the shop and buy a new bottle. In the meantime, you can use the last drops of Gili Ginger Elixir as a base for your own Kombucha! Curious about how to make your own Kombucha? Find out here in our DIY recipe list!

2. Use it as a water bottle

Clean your old Gili bottle. Remove the sticker, and use ecological spray paint to give your bottle any color you love. Now fill your bottle with fresh water... Great way to re-use your old bottle and stay hydrated! If you don't have paint spray, rub a small amount (you don't need much) of disinfectant alcohol or nail polish remover over the bottle to soften the glue. Wash off with hot water and there you go... A brand new water bottle.

3. Use it as a candle holder

Put your favorite candle in the bottleneck of your Gili bottle and let it shine!

4. Use it as a Vase

Buy some beautiful flowers and put them in your old Gili bottle. Very sure the colors will match perfectly with any flower you chose. As a gift to your loved ones, or to surprise your guests when they enter your home.. flowers are always a good idea.

5. Use it as a reed diffuser (home perfume)

Add a bit of water to your clean (empty) Gili bottle. Then add some drops of your favorite essential oil (we love Ylang Ylang, Amber, or Lavender) and put aroma sticks in the bottle. Turn the sticks upside down and repeat the process when the smell is fading.

6. Use it as a work-out tool

Work out those abs!

7. Send us your empty bottle(s)

We ensure your beautiful Gili bottle(s) will get a new life by washing, sterilizing, and re-using them.

Mood Booster

GILI is a booster made from fresh premium ingredients and is hand-pressed with passion.

Our drinks our made to give you the power to be the best version of yourself everyday.

Feel the happiness in its look, feel, and taste.

Freshly hand-pressed

At GILI, we love it tasty & spicy. That's why we are producing the same way as we did at home. We follow a precise and artisanal production process.

First, we press our fresh & organic fruits in small batches at our local juicery to preserve the quality look, smell, and taste.

Then we mix the juices whilst recycling our waste.

And finally, we pasteurize our golden liquid at the lowest temperature to optimize taste and nutrients, followed by carefully bottling this tasty blend in our beautiful glass bottles.

Everything is hand-pressed by our passionate juicers who follow the exact same homemade process.

Carefully selected ingredients

Our products are made from ingredients that are 100% transparent. Finding honest ginger concentrates without compromising on taste can be challenging. Many brands claim to be healthy whilst being packed with refined sugars and/or additives. At GILI, we like it pure and natural. We won't use any artificials and instead focus on what is really good for us. Our ingredients are mostly locally sourced and known for their famous nutritional qualities and incredible taste.

Full of power

Our drinks will give you that much-needed daily kick. We only opt for premium ingredients that are good for you.

No additives

Put the focus on what you have to say! Without artificials, our drinks are 100% natural. We don't add refined sugars, spices, or preservatives.

Light in sugar*

We only use quality natural sweeteners such as honey in our recipes. *On average GILI contains 30% less sugar than the ginger concentrates found on the market.

GINGER

Punchy

We chose organic & quality, Asian ginger, for its zesty aroma. Thanks to this delicate ginger root, our Elixir comes in gently and hits at the end, pronouncing the 50% Ginger.

LEMON

Zesty

Our organic lemons are wisely chosen from Italy. Mainly for the quality of the lemons in this region, but also a little reference to Enzo’s original roots. A hint of sweetness and extremely aromatic.

HONEY

Sweety

Our organic & carefully selected European honey is what makes our drinks all-natural yet balanced. Our honey is harvested in an organic way of beekeeping. We solely work with local & certified beekeepers who meet high standards to ensure that our honey is of the best possible quality and takes the living environment of people, bees, and plants into account.

Organic certified

Our production process as well as our (locally) sourced ingredients are BIO certified . This means that we ensure organic farming systems.

THE DIRTY TRUTH ABOUT FOOD WASTE:

1/3

World's food is wasted

1.6 Billion

Tonnes of food is wasted Globally each year

0.2 Billion

Hectares is used to produce food we don't eat (size of Mexico!)

24%

Global calories don't reach a hungry stomach

200.000.000mln hactares is used to produce food that gets lost or wasted. 24% of those food calories produced don't reach a hungry stomach... 1/3 of all food produced is lost or wasted anually. That's 1.6bn tonnes of annual food waste, costing $2.6trn and contributing around 8-10% of GHG emissions.

How can we cut loss and turn waste into value?

Zero Food Waste

Our mission at GILI is to inspire everyone, from consumers to food producers and entrepreneurs, to take action against food waste. Led by the desire to give back everything we produce to our customers, we created the first ZERO FOOD WASTE herbal tea. Probably the most local and freshest ginger-lemon tea you will find in Europe!

A circular process with zero food waste to give you back 100% of our beloved ingredients.

Ordinary juicers usually throw away their extracted fruit. With the leftover ginger & lemon pulp coming from 1 bottle of our GILI Ginger Elixir 700mL, we create 3 packs of GILI zero waste ginger-lemon herbal tea.

SINCE LAUNCHING IN 2021, WE'VE SAVED...

6 tonnes of food waste. Equivalent to...

+15 tons

of CO2 emission avoided.

90.000 km

of driving emission avoided.

19 years

of drinking water saved.

39.000 m2

of land saved from pesticides.

GILI's Circular Production

Remember the dinner table negotiations with your mom, who wouldn't let you leave the table until you'd finished all the food on your plate? We've upgraded it into a superhero status, saving every little pulp from the dreaded trash bin. No food left behind—our plates are clean, and our taste buds are the real winners!

At GILI, we create natural power root concentrates called elixirs. We believe in sustainability, so when we press our fruits, we don't waste a single bit! Instead, we recycle the pulp, like lemon and ginger fibers. Once we gather 6 tons of fruit pulp, we perform a magical freezedrying process. Don't worry, we keep all the beneficial nutrients intact! The dried pulp becomes the base for our zero waste by-products, such as our delightful ginger-lemon herbal tea. Nothing goes to waste here; everything gets a fabulous second life. Together, let's upcycle and cherish our nutrient-packed food waste! Cheers to a greener world! 🌱🌍
