Packaging Sustainability: Starting the Conversation with Suppliers

Rooms_Level1 - 145 AB

Did you know containers like glass bottles and aluminum cans contribute to roughly 40% of the greenhouse gas emissions throughout the lifecycle of a packaged beer? And that the recycled content of our containers is typically less than half of what it could be? As brewers, day-to-day operations often leave little time for managing the sustainability of our supply chain. The Brewers Association Sustainability Subcommittee will offer best practices and tools for starting the sustainability conversation with your suppliers.
