Verallia, Europe’s leading and the world’s third largest producer of glass packaging, is inaugurating its first hybrid furnace at its Zaragoza site in Spain. This new facility marks a significant milestone in the Group’s decarbonisation strategy and will reduce CO₂ (scope 1 and 2) emissions by around 50%, with potential to reach 60% depending on the energy mix.  In response to the climate emergency, Verallia has been committed for several years to decarbonising its operations. Supported by a clear and robust CSR roadmap – now reinforced by the SBTi’s1 validation of its Net Zero 2040 trajectory – the Group aims to reduce its CO₂ emissions (scopes 1 and 2) by 46.2% by 2030 compared with 2019, and by 90% by 2040. Verallia is the first global producer of glass packaging for beverages and food products to commit to this trajectory for 2040. In this context, the Group is deploying a diversified portfolio of low‑carbon melting technologies across its n

A pioneer in eco-design for glass packaging for over fifteen years, Verallia takes a new step forward with the launch of Balance, the premium eco-designed range from Selective Line. This innovation, aligned with our purpose of “Reimagining glass for a sustainable future” addresses growing demand for premium packaging that combines exceptional design with a reduced carbon footprint.  Drawing on the expertise gained from the lightweight Ecova range created in 2009 and the ultralightweight Verallia Air range developed in 2023, Verallia is now applying its eco-design principles to its premium Selective Line brand.  THREE LEVERS FOR OPTIMIZED IMPACT  The Selective Line Balance range is built on three eco-design levers, which can be activated individually or in combination:  Lightweighting: premium bottles reduced by an average of 15% compared to the overall Selective Line portfolio.  Recycled glass: colors incorporating higher proportions of recycled gla

As Europe’s leading glass packaging producer for beverages and food, Verallia takes another step in its lightweighting revolution with the launch of the Burgundy Air 300g, the world’s first ultra-light Burgundy bottle, standing 290mm tall. A model of disruptive eco-design, it preserves the iconic silhouette of traditional Burgundy bottles significantly reducing its environmental footprint. With the Burgundy Air 300G, Verallia once again confirms its pioneering role in transforming glass packaging to support the wine industry’s sustainability and competitiveness. A TECHNICAL FEAT SERVING THE ENVIRONMENT  This innovation stems from years of R&D expertise and state-of-the-art industrial knowhow. The challenge was to maintain the distinctive aesthetics of Burgundy bottles while drastically cutting their weight.  Weighing just 300 grams (compared to the European average of 450g0F 1) with a 75 cl capacity, the Bourgogne Air 300G reduces raw material use and

The global shift toward sustainability is palpable across nearly every sector. Within the wine and spirits industries, this movement has gained remarkable traction, driven by consumers’ increasing demand for environmentally responsible products. More pressure for industry to put sustainability at the center of all operations but also provides opportunities for businesses to flourish by staying ahead of the trends in innovative and sustainable advancements. Here are four sustainability trends to keep an eye on: Regenerative practices for wine and spirits Recent years have seen a boom in conscious agricultural practices through the philosophy that all aspects of agriculture are connected. This philosophy emphasizes the careful utilization of land management to restore and regenerate the ecosystems and land we use, leaving it in better health for future generations.  Regenerative principles are a push back against traditional industrial agriculture practices which are respons

A draft Napa County Regional Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (RCAAP) has been released for public comment. The draft and related documents can be found at https://climateactionnapa.konveio.com/  Comments are due by September 30, 2025. This draft has been in development for many years, and covers the County of Napa, the Cities of American Canyon, Calistoga, Napa, and St. Helena, and the Town of Yountville. It includes Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction targets of up to 85 percent by 2045. At the same time, it aims to achieve “carbon neutrality” by 2045, primarily by reforestation of burned areas of the County to promote natural carbon sequestration and removing GHGs from the atmosphere. The draft discusses 21 GHG reduction strategies with 46 GHG reduction measures across seven emissions sectors, (though the draft only quantifies the impact of 17 of those measures). The seven sectors, in declining order of their listed percentage of GHG Emissions, are: On-Road Tr

In 1964, the wine industry was transformed by the launch of STELVIN®—the first-ever screw cap designed specifically for wine. Now, 60 years later, Amcor Capsules is once again leading the way with a major innovation: a greener version of the iconic STELVIN® cap that significantly reduces its carbon footprint. Lower Emissions, Same Trusted Quality The new STELVIN® screw cap is the first low-carbon emission aluminum wine cap on the market. Through the integration of up to 46% recycled aluminum and the use of certified low-carbon primary aluminum, the production of each cap now emits up to 35% less carbon than a standard screw cap made with traditional European aluminum sheets. This step forward is independently verified and reflects Amcor Capsules' broader sustainability mission. Sustainable Options Go Even Further Brands seeking additional environmental benefits can now choose the PVDC-free STELVIN® INSIDE liner, offering a
