The need for environmentally conscious products has never been greater, and the alcohol industry is a leader in paving the way to a more climate-friendly future with the introduction of various sustainable beer innovations. These brews range from having sustainable packaging to being crafted from food waste, and each initiative focuses on how to mitigate any environmental impacts.
Corona is a great example of an alcohol brand that has set itself apart as a champion of sustainable beer innovation. The beer brand recently launched stackable eco-friendly beer packaging that removes the need for plastic six-pack rings. In addition, consumers can now pay for beer using reclaimed plastic from shorelines. These creative sustainable beer innovations will surely inspire other sectors to launch more sustainable initiatives.
