The Margaret River Wine Association and its members are committed to continuous improvement, with a focus on leaving the land and planet in better condition for future generations.Wine packaging contributes to 44% of emissions associated with wine production, from grape to end-of-life packaging (Wine Australia, 2023). By switching to lightweight glass, these emissions can be reduced by over 20% with this single, impactful change (Hirlam et al., 2023).
Through the Lightweight Glass Packaging Charter, we are committed to driving the adoption of lightweight glass in the Margaret River wine region as part of our broader sustainability efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
