As the EU works towards legislation on Green claims and declarations, the beer sector has multiple fascinating case studies of brewers and others within the beer value chain fully integrating sustainability into their businesses, pursuing improvements at every step of the way.
This session will feature a presentation of a first-of-its-kind online tool to measure impacts at every step of the life cycle, allowing brewers to benchmark against others and identify the actions that can reap the most benefits in terms of environmental impact. The Beer PEFCR (Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules) was developed as a pilot with the European Commission.
The session will also include some of the best practises across the industry, including a case study from the EC-funded LIFE brewery project – another highly-replicable integrated solution to recover brewery secondary materials for aquaculture-feed ingredients.
