  • The carbon footprint of packaging, and what should be done about it

    This is a recording from our Sustainable Wine Packaging online conference that took place on 23rd June, 2021.

    Research appears to show that packaging can be the largest part of wine’s

    carbon footprint, with up to 30% of the GHG emissions from wine, being in
    bottle manufacture and transport. We will look at the latest numbers on
    impact, how this can be changed. We’ll also ask what retailers want now on
    packaging performance, and how will that change to 2025 and beyond?


    Speakers:

    • Anne Jones, partner and category manager drinks, Waitrose & Partners
  • Kim Forsberg, sustainability manager, VinGruppen
  • Joanna Griffiths, global food community director, BSI
  • Carlos de Jesus, marketing & communication director, Amorim Cork
