(Rogue Ales & Spirits Transitions to 100% Recyclable Packaging in 2022)
November 15th was National Recycling Day and Rogue Ale took the opportunity to announce its commitment to sustainability with new recyclable packaging. In an effort to reduce waste and use less plastic, Rogue will be transitioning all product packaging from plastic rings to 100% recyclable wrap packs.
“We’ve been working on this packaging update for a while because of the many benefits,” said Rouge’s very coolly named president, Dharma Tamm, who we gotta admit is doing a cool thing…
“Cardboard wrap packs provide a more sustainable solution while also protecting the product and showcasing our award-winning graphic designs. This was a huge commitment from our entire team, and we can’t wait to see this packaging on shelves in the new year.”
Made of 100% recyclable materials, Rogue’s new wrap packs will reduce over 100,000 pounds of plastic waste to landfills annually. In addition to reducing plastic waste, the wrap pack is responsibly sourced through sustainable forestry practices.
“Our raw material sourcing creates sustainable livelihoods for family tree farmers around our supplier mills,” says Bill Tocco, Director, Print & Packaging Sales at Trojan Litho….
“The majority of our wood fiber comes from small private family forests within a 100-mile radius of these mills. Our supplier’s North American manufacturing platform is tri-certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, Forestry Stewardship Council, and the Program for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification, chain of custody standards proving our commitment to the environment from sourcing to sale.”
Rogue has committed to creating more sustainable operations, products, and packaging going forward as well as working with partners and vendors that share that same commitment.
Founded in 1988, Rogue Ales & Spirits, one of the nation’s first craft breweries is taking steps that all breweries must consider, moving away from non-recyclable plastics that trash the oceans towards more sensible beer packaging that might make for a better world.
Rogue’s new packaging will be on shelves in 2022…
