At Brewery Vivant, we deliver our beer to you in cans. Why cans you ask? Because of our commitment to the environment. Here are some facts about alumium.

• According to the Aluminum Association:
  • Aluminum is more easily recycled, 54% of aluminum cans are recycled in the US, vs 36% of glass bottles being recycled (Glass Packaging Institute)
  • A typical beer can contains 68% recycled material, the highest of any beverage container
  • A can that is recycled can be back on the shelf within 60 days
  • 34 cans can be made from one pound of aluminum
  • Aluminum is "infinitely recyclable"
  • The aluminum can is the only package that more than covers its recycling costs, helping to finance the collection and recycling of other materials such as glass and plastic
• The package is stackable, requiring less space to store and making it the package more dense per square inch
• An empty beer can weighs about 1 oz, while an empty beer bottle weighs about 6 oz making cans less costly on the environment to ship at all stages
• Cans provide a long shelf life by protecting products inside from light, oxygen and other factors which can affect taste and even product safet
