Even if you aren’t a Corona or other beer drinker, this is good news. Six-pack rings have always been a hazard to wildlife, killing and choking them, and drink industries–beer and soft drink–have been slow to adopt the technology that’s been around for years that can solve the problem. That is, biodegradable, non-plastic 6-pack rings.
Kudos to Corona for finally doing that. It’s only a pilot program, but it’s an important start. Read about it at Corona Beer to Ditch Plastic Packaging by Using Biodegradable 6-Pack Rings. Then, contact Corona and congratulate them on their enlightened action. (If you want, lift a beer in a toast to them.) And ask your favorite beer and soft-drink manufacturers why they aren’t doing the same thing.
