  • Our Risks and Opportunities
    By embracing circular packaging, we contribute to long-term financial and social advantages. Packaging contributes (51%) to our overall GHG emissions. To effectively tackle packaging and waste issues, including China’s landfill issue and environmental pollution in India, we embrace circular packaging initiatives.
  • Our Policy
    Under the guidance of our publicly available Packaging and Waste Policy , we aim to minimise waste throughout our packaging life cycle by implementing various measures, which contributes to the circular economy. It enables us to mitigate negative environmental impacts and eliminate unnecessary consumption, while ensuring the appropriate reuse and disposal of materials.




  • Our Vision and Ambition
    At Bud APAC, we support waste reduction and circular packaging initiatives.

Our Approach

  • Waste Management in Our Operation
    • Assess waste generation and landfill diversion within our operations and throughout the value chain regularly and identify opportunities for waste reduction.
    • Adopt green procurement practices in accordance with our Responsible Sourcing Policy, minimizing waste at the source, eliminating single-use supplies and collaborating with suppliers to innovate on waste reduction.
  • Circular Packaging
    We aim to minimise waste throughout our packaging life cycle by implementing various measures, which contribute to the circular economy.
    • Innovate – Foster collaboration with start-ups to build an innovative ecosystem and promote packaging innovation through our ‘100+ Innovation Lab’ and ‘100+ Innovation Alliance’ platforms.
    • Reduce – Utilise technological upgrading (e.g. lightweight) and innovative design to minimise material consumption across all packaging types.
    • Reuse – Increase the reusability of our packaging to extend its lifespan.
    • Recycle – Integrate recycled and recyclable materials into our packaging, develop circular packaging solutions, implement closed-loop recycling and collaborate with upstream and downstream partners to promote the development of the recycling system.
    • Recover – Collaborate with local communities and authorities to enhance the recovery of discarded packaging.

Our initiatives

  • Waste Reduction Opportunities in Packaging Design

    Recycled Contents in Packaging

    We aim to develop innovative technologies thatpromote the incorporation of recycled content into ourpackaging materials. By the end of the Reporting Period,our innovative initiatives enabled us to incorporateapproximately 56% recycled content in our glassbottles and to use over 90% of recycled paper pulp aspapermaking raw material for our cardboard packaging.
    Impact

    Our primary packaging contains more than 55% recycled content. 

    Bud China uses over 56% recycled content in its glass bottle packaging.

    Carbon-neutral Paper used in Packaging

    In 2024, Bud China collaborated with Sunshine Paper, an upstream paper-making supplier partner, to produce beer cartons using carbon-neutral paper products, which are the first carbon-neutral paper products in the beer industry within Mainland-China.
    Impact
    By using carbon-neutral paper in packaging and replacing traditional plastic air column materials with environmentally friendly handles and bases made from wheat straw, we are working towards reducing the weight and carbon footprint of secondary packaging and encouraging consumers to change their packaging usage habits.

  • Post-Consumer Recovery Opportunities

    Glass Bottle Recycling

    In partnership with our wholesalers, we have developed a comprehensive system for collecting cullet and disposable bottles. In China, we have improved the glass bottle return process, facilitating direct redelivery to our glass supplier. This approach drives a reliable supply of recycled glass for our suppliers.
    Impact

    Over 8,100 tonnes of cullet were collected by our suppliers for recycling in 2024.
