Results: Would You Pay Extra For Eco Friendly Beer Rings?
Published on 11/15/2018
Nearly 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in the water on an annual basis. And that's hurting the creatures that live down where it's wetter. According to recent research, sea animals from birds, to turtles, to whales regularly feed on plastic because it smells like food. That's not good for them. SaltWater Brewery has been working to bring eco-safe six-pack rings to consumers since it launched in 2013. Now, in a partnership with environmental startup E6PR, the brewery has introduced their product to the beer industry.
These rings are still meant to be thrown in the trash. If they don't end up there, though, sea animals have nothing to fear. The packaging is "completely biodegradable, compostable, and edible." And while they're popping up in stores all over Florida — Publix, Total Wine & More, ABC Fine Wine and Spirits — they've still got a long way to go. Hopefully this product will gain in popularity, and start appearing around six packs of beer all over the country. Would you pay more for an eco friendly product like this?
