Sustainable Packaging (Cont’d from Page 1) and whether a brand’s values align with those of the individual consuming the product.” In early October 2019, Speyside single malt Scotch brand Glenlivet unveiled a limited-edition ‘Capsule Collection’ of glassless cocktails served in clear, edible capsules made of seaweed extract, considered one of nature’s most renewable resources. “Much of the response to the capsules was derisive, comparing the format to Tide Pods, a line of laundry detergent pods manufactured by Procter & Gamble,” Diamonon said.“Such a reaction was to be expected, given the radical nature of the launch and its extreme departure from the familiar – particularly for a product as steeped in tradition as whiskey.” More recently, Danish brewing giant Carlsberg un- veiled two prototypes for what it claims will be the world’s first paper beer bottle, made from sustainably sourced wood fibers and an inner barrier to allow the bottles to reliably contain beer. GlobalData suggests that these innovations from both companies are indicative of how the priori- ties of consumer product companies are necessarily shifting in line with new consumer preferences and expectations. “As sustainability becomes inextricably linked with quality, premium brands will need to risk the possibil- ity of failure – and even short-term ridicule – in order to draw the attention of ethically-minded consumers,” Diamonon concluded.
