On February 26, 2026, Dr. Gab\u2019s and WasteOlas inaugurated a system in Puidoux to recycle CO2 produced during beer fermentation. It was a festive occasion, but above all the culmination of three years of work: capturing naturally produced CO2, purifying it, and then reusing it directly on-site, in line with the principles of self-sufficiency and the circular economy. <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/wasteolas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Wasteolas.mp4″ play_icon_color=”#58e3ff” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”80%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

An inauguration that marks the culmination of three years of work<\/h3>\n
Behind the event lies a technical and human endeavor that began in 2023. Designing a reliable CO2 recovery system for a brewery environment involves meeting stringent requirements: operational continuity, energy consumption control, gas quality, safety, and integration into the production process. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This launch marks a significant milestone: a solution designed for everyday use, made possible by a local partnership between Dr. Gab\u2019s and WasteOlas. <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wasteolas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u00a9GabrielLado_260227_DrGabs_001-scaled.jpg” title_text=”\u00a9 Gabriel Lado” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wasteolas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u00a9GabrielLado_260227_DrGabs_006-scaled.jpg” title_text=”\u00a9 Gabriel Lado” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Un syst\u00e8me Swiss made pour capter, purifier et r\u00e9utiliser le CO2 de fermentation<\/h3>\n
The system developed captures the CO2 generated during fermentation, compresses it, filters it, monitors its purity, and then re-injects it into other stages of the internal process.<\/div>\n
Gabriel Hasler, co-founder of Dr. Gab\u2019s, summarizes the approach: \u201cTogether with this partner, we have developed a Swiss-made system to capture CO2 from fermentation, compress it, filter it, verify its purity, and reinject it into other internal processes.\u201d <\/a><\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A local circular economy, conceived as an ecosystem<\/h3>\n
WasteOlas developed the entire system in collaboration with numerous partner suppliers, all united by a common goal: to foster the growth of a local ecosystem. All partners involved in this project were located within 70 km of the brewery\u2014a deliberate choice made to strengthen resilience, promote regional expertise, and reduce the environmental impact of logistics. <\/a><\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wasteolas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u00a9GabrielLado_260227_DrGabs_002.jpg” title_text=”\u00a9 Gabriel Lado” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wasteolas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20231027_105528-scaled.jpg” title_text=”20231027_105528″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Reduce reliance on external supplies, promote circularity<\/h3>\n
Beyond innovation, the challenge is strategic: reducing dependence on external supplies of food-grade CO2 while lowering the overall carbon footprint. The brewery is thus making use of a byproduct it already generates on-site, rather than relying on a resource that must be purchased and transported. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The stated goal is clear: \u201cto eventually meet 100% of our needs, while optimizing energy consumption and quality at every stage.\u201d<\/a><\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Conclusion<\/h2>\n
This inauguration sends a strong signal in support of CO2 utilization: local, robust solutions tailored to on-site conditions can transform an unavoidable emission into a useful resource. For WasteOlas, this marks the realization of an approach focused on CO2 circularity as close as possible to production sites, and validates the potential for deployment in other sectors where CO2 is regularly available. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The next step is to step up the pace: further optimize energy efficiency, expand applications, and, where appropriate, connect stakeholders within the same region to foster the emergence of a true circular CO2 ecosystem.<\/a><\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”33013,33014,33015,33016,33017,33018,33019,33020,33021,33022,33023,33024,33025,33026,33027,33028,33029,33030,33031,33032,33033″ gallery_orderby=”rand” fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”80%” module_alignment=”center” auto=”on” auto_speed=”2000″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”80%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”-20px||40px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]
