Earth Day serves as a reminder to celebrate our planet and collaborate in shaping a resilient future. As concerns about planet preservation continue to grow, industries, including breweries, are taking significant progress towards sustainability.
At Neitiv, as an ethical small business, sustainability lies at the core of our identity. Beyond simply offering a bottle of beer, we advocate for a meaningful way of life that reconnects modern society with its natural roots. Our mission is to foster a sustainable approach that honours our planet and Mother Nature.
Green Steps That Breweries Are Taking
Many breweries are embracing sustainability in various ways to reduce their environmental footprint. Here are some notable methods:
1. Rainwater Harvesting - The purpose of this is to use water which the clouds have recycled! Utilising rainwater helps conserve freshwater resources and reduces the need for additional water sources. Rainwater harvesting systems capture and store rainwater for various needs such as cleaning and processing.
2. Solar Panels - Implementing solar panels provides a sustainable energy source, minimising emissions and lowering long-term operational costs. Solar thermal systems are also utilised to harness sunlight for heating liquids, including water used in brewing and equipment cleaning.
3. Eco-friendly Transport - Switching to HVO fuel or electric vehicles drastically cuts carbon emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment. This shift not only benefits the planet but also offers long-term cost savings, particularly for small businesses like micro-breweries.
4. Sustainable Packaging - Breweries are adopting recyclable materials for packaging, ensuring their packaging can be recycled again after use. This is a big step towards removing non-decomposable materials from circulation to live in a cleaner and greener world.
5. Using local ingredients - Supporting local farmers and utilising locally sourced ingredients reduces carbon emissions associated with transportation. Beyond environmental benefits, using local ingredients enhances the quality of brews and fosters community connections while bolstering the local economy.

Your Turn To Take Action
The next time you’re popping out for a pint, there are some easy things to remember to keep your choices green. Support local in person at a nearby brewery or scan the supermarket aisles for bottles with a lower environmental footprint. By supporting your local brewers, you're not just enjoying great beer – you're also nurturing community spirit and making a positive impact on the planet.
