On average 40-60% of a vineyard and winery’s carbon footprint is from packaging and distribution alone. At this workshop in April 2024, we explored climate smart, sustainable glass, closures, the future of reusable glass, and alternative packaging. Since 2020, climate smart marketed CPG products have doubled in sales to $3.4 billion. Wine bottles and packaging can be leveraged to meet rising consumer demand for climate smart products. At this workshop, we heard case studies, learned what is truly recyclable, and new opportunities to recycle film wrap and label backing.
