Growing worldwide concerns about plastic waste has many brands responding with alternative packaging solutions, which is what we're seeing with the new Skinny Brands Skinny Lager bottles.
The bottles are crafted from aluminum and have been created especially for music festivals where plastic cups are often used rather than providing patrons with a breakable glass bottle. The packaging comes as a move that is in line with the recent decision amongst over 60 independent festivals in the UK that are banning plastic straws and phasing out single-use plastic completely by 2021.
Speaking on the new Skinny Brands Skinny Lager aluminum bottles, Marketing Director at Skinny Brands, Allan Moffat, said, "Everyone has seen the impact that waste, particularly plastic, is having on our planet, and we wanted to make sure we were contributing to the solution and not the problem. The aluminum bottle is a step in the right direction and it is part of our commitment to using recyclable or reusable materials at events."
