Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company has invested over £10 million into its Northampton brewery to boost sustainability.
The investment will go towards reducing water storage and producing plastic-free Snap Pack technology to reduce the beer manufacturers plastic usage by up to 76%.
Carlsberg’s can filler will be attached to new seamers and can coders will reduce water 18 million litres every year – equivalent to more than seven Olympic-size swimming pools or almost 32 million pints.

As part of Carlsberg’s Together Towards ZERO and Beyond ESG programme, the company has targets for making progress on a range of sustainability measures. These include halving its use of virgin fossil-based plastics by 2030 under the ZERO Packaging Waste ambition and achieving water usage efficiency of 2.0hl per hl of beer at every brewery by 2030 to achieve ZERO Water Waste.
Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company CEO Paul Davies said: “We take our responsibility as a brewer very seriously and ensuring we reduce our impact on the planet is a hugely important part of this.
“This major investment of more than £10 million in Northampton demonstrates our clear commitments to eliminating packaging waste, reducing water waste, and improving efficiency at our breweries.”
“By taking ambitious action now, we can deliver on our sustainability goals and enable even more of our innovative Snap Pack multipacks to make their way to consumers.”
