Carlsberg to replace plastic ring can holders with recyclable glue

Danish brewer will be the first to ditch pack rings in a move it says will reduce plastic by up to 76%

Familiar plastic can holders used for lager and beer multipacks could be on their way out after global brewing giant Carlsberg revealed plans to replace them with recyclable glue.

In a world first for the beer industry, the Danish brewer is phasing in a new "snap pack" which it claims will reduce the amount of plastic used in traditional multi-packs by as much as 76%.
