Alko has a significant climate impact. They accounts for a significant proportion of a beverages carbon footprint. One easy-to-remember rule is: the lighter and more recyclable the packaging, the smaller its climate impacts. According to studies commissioned by Alko in 2018 and 2019, there are great variations in the carbon footprints of different types of wine packaging per liter of beverage. Glass bottles generate the most emissions and greatest environmental impacts per liter of beverage, while boxed wines generate the smallest. When it comes to environmental impacts, the weight and size of packaging are decisive criteria. For wine and beer, the greatest environmental impacts are caused by the manufacture of product packaging. For strong alcoholic beverages, package manufacture comes second after the energy consumed by distilleries during beverage production. So the beverage packaging you choose really does make a difference. Read more about the environmental impacts of alcoholic beverages.
