We drink around 30BN litres of beer every year in Western Europe. According to the Rexam "beverage radar" only 8BN litres of this is sold on draught, meaning that the rest is sold in some form of packaging. The beer industry has been forced to address the environmental impact of the production, transport and disposal of these bottles and cans. Now, as lighter packs start to emerge, debates are raging about which is the best material for the job.
