Hi-Cone says UK brewers are favouring its multi-packaging systems ‘which frequently offer considerable energy consumption savings and provide genuine environmental benefits, all leading towards meeting carbon reduction targets’.
By adopting Hi-Cone’s Side Lift multipack carriers, companies such as Carlsberg UK, Diageo and Daniel Thwaites are said to have reduced the weight of the multipacks they use for canned beers by 20%.
According to Hi-Cone, the minimal volume and weight of its carriers can compare very favourably to alternative materials, often using less packaging than other multipack systems.
Independent consulting firm Franklin Associates’ study A Life Cycle Assessment of Beverage Carriers has also confirmed that Hi-Cone carriers have sustainable advantages in terms of energy usage, greenhouse gases, and solid waste.
