Spirits professionals join forces to discuss the future of sustainability

A panel of experts working in the spirits industry are joining together to discuss the best ways to make products with a low environmental impact.

The event is organised by sustainable spirits producer Avallen in partnership with Wonderworks.

The event, called Sustainable by Design, will explore the different approaches across the drinks industry to achieve a more environmentally sustainable product offering, with a key focus on packaging.

The panel will discuss the full environmental impact of packaging, recent innovations in the route to market, closed loop lifecycles, how bar staff can make better choices when disposing of old bottles, boxes and accessories, and guide trade professionals on how they can do better when it comes to packaging.
