The Margaret River Wine Association and its members are committed to continuous improvement and to leaving our land and planet in better condition for future generations.Wine packaging accounts for 44% of emissions of wine from grape production through to packaging end of life (Wine Australia, 2023), and the switch to lightweight glass can cut those emissions by over 20% with this one simple step (Hirlam et al., 2023).
Together, we will drive the uptake of lightweight glass in the Margaret River wine region through the Lightweight Glass Packaging Charter as part of our commitment to sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
