CARDBOARD CASCADE

Australian beer brand Cascade is turning to the use of cardboard packaging to hold its beer cans as opposed to commonly used plastic rings. The switch was sparked by an increasing awareness of the harm the previous packaging design can cause to the environment and wildlife. The new secondary packaging for the beers will be introduced to the market in the coming months with other brands to follow suit. Carlton & United Breweries, also in on the movement away from plastic packaging, have revealed their sustainability goals and plans for packaging that is mainly made with recycled materials or 100 percent returnable by 2025.
