Packaging continues to see a lot of change of materials driven largely by sustainability objectives. Plastic replacement is still top of the agenda for many brands and retailers as they look to switch out of the material to solutions that may offer a better environmental footprint or at least be better received by anti-plastic focused consumers.

Spirits company Bacardí has announced that it is removing plastic pourers from its bottles in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Spain and Portugal. The pourer, known as an NRF (Non-Refillable Fitment) is common throughout the spirits industry. It has, until now, been found on the neck of several of the company’s iconic drink brands, including Bacardí rum, Martini Fiero, Bombay Sapphire gin and Dewar’s White Label blended Scotch whisky. The removal of the pourers has already begun in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, and the company says that this will remove 76 metric tons of single-use plastic annually. Once Spain and Portugal also remove the pourers, the total will go up to 140 metric tons. The company says that it will have removed all single-use plastic from its gift packs and POS displays by 2023, and by 2025 100% of its packaging will be recyclable.
