- •
The carbon footprint of an industrial pale lager packed in different formats was estimated.
- •
It was 74 or 25 kg of CO2e per hL of beer packed in 33-cL glass bottles or 30-L steel kegs.
- •
For 33-cL bottles and cans, the impact of packaging materials about doubled that of beer production.
- •
Glass bottle production and agriculture were identified as the main hot spots in beer life cycle.
- •
The use of transparent data makes such estimates easily revisable as better quality data are available.
