Carlsberg set to scrap all plastic rings, cut waste

In what Carlsberg describes as a world first, the Danish brewer has introduced a packaging concept named Snap Pack that connects beer cans with glue. The new packaging will replace traditional plastic can holders and significantly cut waste.

The packaging is expected to launch in China next year, but an exact date has not been announced yet, the company said.

So far, the Snap Pack has been used in the United Kingdom and Norway. It will debut in other European countries this year.
