SaltWater Brewery opts for sustainable six-pack carrier ring

Company is reportedly the first to use the environmentally friendly E6PR ring. Made of barley and wheat ribbons used in the brewing process, it also provides the strength to hold cans through distribution.

For some of us, the image of wildlife trapped in plastic beverage carriers is etched in our retinas. Typically used for six-packs of beer or soft drinks, these carriers hold cans together, but often end up in oceans where wildlife can become entrapped and even poisoned by them upon ingestion.

A more sustainable option comes from Delray Beach, FL-based SaltWater Brewery, which has begun using the new Eco Six Pack Ring, E6PR™ (see video). Made of barley and wheat ribbons used in the brewing process, E6PR is said to provide the strength necessary to hold cans through distribution. The carrier is also designed to be compostable, both on land and if left in a water system where the organic materials are said not to harm wildlife upon ingestion.
