Labatt Breweries of Canada is investing $10.5 million into its St. John's brewery to fund the addition of a new packaging system to implement sustainable, paperboard packaging to replace plastic packaging rings used to hold together six-packs and eight-packs of beer.  

"This investment in Newfoundland and Labrador is a testament of Labatt's commitment to a sustainable future, our brewery, our employees and our community," says Wade Keller, director of corporate affairs of Labatt's Atlantic Breweries. "As we continue our journey towards the elimination of single use plastic in our operations, this investment in paperboard packaging in our operations is proof of that."
