Anheuser-Busch InBev and DS Smith Plastics are winners of the 2018 Excellence in Reusable Packaging Award for innovations that reduced CO2 impact.
AB InBev’s strategy, recognized by the Reusable Packaging Association, included a preventative maintenance program for reusable kegs and a pallet redesign, which consolidated heat treatment and palletization for ready-to-use kegs at one location instead of two. Pallets per load increased 33 percent and C02 impact decreased by 30 percent.
