In 2023, Lough Ree Distillery surpassed their target milestone by 49.5% through implementing waste management tools to reduce waste output.
In 2023, Lough Ree Distillery took significant steps to enhance its waste management practices, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. One of the primary initiatives has been maximising the reuse of as much incoming packaging materials, allowing the distillery to reduce its environmental impact by minimising waste at the source. This strategic shift not only reduced the volume of waste generated but also contributed to a more circular and resource-efficient production process.
Additionally, Lough Ree Distillery implemented thorough audits of its waste streams to identify and reduce non-recyclables. Their efforts have decreased waste from 0.057 kg/l 2022 to 0.052 kg/l in 2023, surpassing their milestone target by 49.5%. Lough Ree Distillery are focused on introducing lightweight bottles across their range and are introducing the ecoSPIRITS circular economy spirits distribution system to the Irish market. This innovative system is designed to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of spirits distribution by minimising single-use glass and cardboard waste, aligning with the distillery’s ongoing efforts to create more sustainable supply chains.
