Working with startup packaging company E6PR (which is short for Eco Six Pack Rings), Saltwater Brewery now sells its Screamin' Reels IPA in compostable / biodegradable six-pack rings.
Corona is officially the first global beer brand to pilot plastic-free six-pack rings. The new rings — also produced by E6PR — will be tested in Mexico at the beginning of 2019, with plans to move to the UK the following year.
Carlsberg has joined the growing movement towards eco-friendly packaging with its new "snap pack," which has been launched in Norway and the UK. The cans are held together with small blobs of glue, which can be recycled along with the cans. Carlsberg says the move will reduce global plastic waste by 1,200 tonnes per year.
Rosebank Brewery, based in Cape Town, South Africa, partnered with E6PR to become South Africa's first brewery to use eco-friendly packaging.
You’ve probably seen the gruesome pictures of wildlife — turtle, birds and fish — caught in plastic six-pack holders. It’s no doubt that these six-can carriers contribute to the more than 18 billion pounds of plastic that clog the world’s oceans each year. What’s the alternative? Well, more and more companies are catching on to paper-based can holders.
