On a hot summer’s day, who doesn’t enjoy cracking open a cold beer? Or hiding away in the pub on a weekend afternoon with a bottle of something refreshing? However, the consumption of beer, lager, and cider can have a negative eect on the environment if you are not mindful of which brands you purchase from.
Are aluminium cans recycled?
Packaging and recycling is another critical issue within this sector. Packaging accounts for 40% of beer’s carbon footprint. Most of us know that we can recycle aluminium and glass. But not everything we put in our recycling bins actually gets recycled. Alcohol kegs and casks are the most sustainable form of packaging. Not only do they store a lot of liquid within one container, but they are also widely reused and recycled when returned. If you are throwing a party then why not buy a keg instead of dozens of aluminium cans that may not be recycled. (An additional benefit is that buying in bulk can be a lot cheaper!)
The carbon emissions of beer brands
Unfortunately, a lot of beer, lager and cider is transported to Bangalore from dierent cities, sometimes thousandsof miles away, which leads to massive carbon emissions. It is therefore a good idea to purchase from lager, cider and beer brands that manufacture their products locally. Local beers have a much smaller carbon footprint!Purchasing from local companies also means you reduce the risk of supporting large unethical corporations. You can often nd small craft breweries selling at their own taprooms. All of Red Rhino’s craft brews are brewed locally with special importance paid to keeping the entire process as sustainable as possible.
