Heineken becomes latest brewer in UK to replace plastic six-pack rings with environmentally-friendly alternative.

Brewing giant Heineken has become the latest beer firm to replace the plastic ‘six-pack rings’ with an environmentally friendly alternative in a bid to reduce plastic pollution.

The change will roll out across some of the brewer’s brands starting April 2020, and will encompass all of its brands by the end of 2021 and see it invest £22 million in the project. Rising plastic pollution, particularly in the oceans, is an increasing concern for environmentalists and consumers. The six-pack rings, a staple of the beverage packaging industry for decades, have been a particular focus of environmentalists’ ire over incidents of wildlife becoming trapped in them resulting in injury or death.
