This resulted in the sustainable Corona Extra crate, a collaboration between Schoeller Allibert and AB InBev. This stunning crate is made with over 90% recycled material, including plastic waste from the maritime industry.

What makes this crate so sustainable?

Firstly, it is 100% recyclable, allowing AB InBev to transition from a linear to a circular plastic waste stream. The design of the crate was carefully considered, featuring a unique marbled exterior for each unit.

This design choice adds value to the brand in multiple ways. It creates a captivating 'riptide' effect, aligning with the maritime narrative of Corona Extra. The distinctive appearance also helps the crates stand out on shelves, catching the attention of consumers.

Lastly, it reflects the brand's 'perfectly imperfect' personality, mirroring the untamed beauty and unpredictability of nature, particularly the oceans.
