Reducing Packaging

Our National Environmental Manager reports:

“Lion Nathan is now a long way down the track as a signatory to the National Packaging Covenant and we are demonstrating some real achievements in improving the environmental performance of our product packaging.

“We have extensively reviewed, lightweighted and rationalised cardboard 6 pack carriers. This not only offers consumers a more convenient pack for handling stubbies but is a cost effective alternative, and a real positive for the environment.

“The results speak for themselves – a reduction of 1120 tonnes in our annual consumption of cardboard. That is equivalent to saving around 14,500 trees per year and a huge step in the right direction to helping regulate the earth’s temperature and keep our environment clean.

“We continually strive to seek new packaging opportunities that are more environmentally friendly whilst also responding to what customers want in the delivery of our high quality product. Customer feedback is an important factor in new packaging design, as is our regard for the environmental attributes of all packaging materials used.”
