Constellation also intends to make 80% of its packaging returnable, recyclable, or renewable across its wine portfolio.

The company will transition to recyclable paperboard from its existing hi-cone plastic rings on all its applicable four-pack and six-pack SKUs across its Beer portfolio during this period.

In addition to this packaging circularity target, Constellation also aims to achieve a TRUE Zero Waste to Landfill Certification in its key operating facilities by 2025.

To achieve this, the company will reduce operational waste across its facilities and improve diversion from landfills.
