Lighter, low carbon, less plastic: Our newest beer packaging for a better world

Every day our teams and supply chain partners are reimagining what’s possible in sustainable packaging and developing inventive, green technologies. Here are some of our latest innovations. 

Bottles and cans, shedding grams 

In June, we announced the development of a scalable solution to produce the world’s lightest longneck beer bottle. The technology reduces a bottle’s weight from 180 to 150 grams, a change that cuts CO2e emissions by 17% per bottle. It was developed by our Global Innovation and Technology Center (GITEC) in Leuven, Belgium, in collaboration with our suppliers, and features new coatings and state-of-the-art technologies to ensure strength and quality.  

AB InBev has been reducing the weight of our bottles and cans progressively for years to reduce carbon emissions.
