From purchasing ingre- dients to packaging and storing the finished product, brewers and brew- ery owners are faced with numerous decisions that significantly affect the environment. The vast majority of breweries reduce their environmental impact by doing things like recycling their spent grains to local farmers for animal feed rather than dumping them in a land fill, or by utilizing so- lar panels to help generate electricity. Brewery owners and operators are continuously scrutinizing their opera- tions to see what additional steps can be taken to lessen their environmen- tal impact. So, why focus on reducing the brewery’s environmental impact? “I spend most of my free time snowboarding, cycling, and hiking; the devastation that man is reeking upon the planet has to stop,” stresses Christian Ettinger, owner and brewmaster of Hopworks Urban Brewery in Portland.

  • Ingrain's Vision Is to Transform Brewers' Spent Grain, a Waste Product Of
    Eco-Entrepreneurship Project Final Report Bren School of Environmental Science & Management University of California Santa Barbara Spring 2016 1 InGrain’s vision is to transform brewers’ spent grain, a waste product of beer production, into sustainable packaging and brand differentiating materials for the craft beer industry. U.S. Craft breweries are booming: in 2014 alone, craft production rose 18%, and hundreds of new facilities are established each year. While a boon for the industry, this growth also means breweries are having a larger impact on the environment: more production leads to an increase in demand for paperboard packaging made from virgin wood pulp. We propose to close the industry loop on breweries’ waste generation by using one waste product– spent grain– as an input for the other — paperboard packaging. Breweries are major consumers of disposable paperboard goods– packaging, paper goods, and promotionals. Our market research suggests that this packaging does far more than safely move product from point A to point B: breweries rely on their six-pack holders and coasters to attract customers and develop their brand identity. This identity is crucial in an increasingly crowded craft beer market whose consumers tend to value a compelling story. Therefore, any packaging that distinguishes a brewery as more genuine, more committed is an advantage in the craft market. InGrain packaging and coasters have the ability to make manifest a brewery’s commitment to closed-loop production practices, sustainability, and community. 2 The InGrain Team TERRA ALPAUGH CAMERON DUNNING TALIA IBARGÜEN Cornell University - BA History UCSB - BA Business Economics Northeastern University - BS Pepperdine School of Law - JD Environmental Science and Graduate Specialization: Wildlife Biology Energy and Climate Graduate Specialization: Coastal Marine Resource Graduate Specialization: Management Corporate Environmental Management After a decade away exploring He is originally from the San Talia is originally from Rainbow New York, Wyoming, and Beijing, Francisco Bay Area.
