Bottling wine in a changing climate… maintaining momentum

WRAP - Waste & Resources Action programme

WRAP's (Waste & Resources Action Programme) briefing session will give delegates the chance to hear from a panel of industry experts on how they have benefitted from the adoption of better environmental practices for transporting and packing wine.   The WSTA will chair this fascinating discussion, which will touch on how lightweighting and bulk importation can fit into broader company sustainability objectives, not only for large corporations, but for small and medium enterprises too.  It will also provide an insight into how the wine sector is meeting these challenges and overcoming barriers.

WRAP will close off the discussion with an overview of findings from the internationally recognised GlassRite Wine project, highlighting global successes and providing an outline of 'what next?', in order to maintain the strong momentum for change by the wine industry and its supply chain.

This debate will celebrate the positive change the international wine sector has undertaken, and provide information and guidance on how to benefit commercially and environmentally from bottling wine better in a changing climate. This could include anything from adopting innovative 300g bottles, to finding out the possibilities for sparkling wine, to how much filling capacity the UK has for bulk wine.

We look forward to sharing the successes with you, and will also be keen to hear about your achievements.
