Being natural also means being responsible, hence the #EveryEstrellaWeMake initiative.
As of 1 December 2020, Estrella Damm now exclusively comes with 100% biodegradable cardboard rings. They’ve also removed the printed plastic from their can packs. As of 1 February 2021, they’re replacing 100% of the printed plastic in our can packs with cardboard sourced from sustainable and responsibly managed forests. This will allow them to reduce plastic by 99 tonnes per year. The cardboard comes from sustainably and responsibly managed forests. They partner with suppliers to ensure the labels and packaging materials are more respectful to the environment. They have also been awarded the PEFC and FSC certifications, which confirm that the cardboard they use has been sourced from sustainably and responsibly managed forests. 65% of the containers are returnable, and 100% are recyclable, they use 100% natural and local ingredients an repurpose organic waste as animal feed.
