B Corp certification achieved

Brick Lane Brewing has recently become B Corp certified, making it the largest of its kind in the country to do so. B Corp Certification is a designation made by the US-based not-for-profit B Lab to applicant organisations that can demonstrate high standards of positive social and environmental impact.

Published Sustainability Update

To coincide with this announcement Brick Lane has published its Sustainability Update, which details the innovations and processes the company has put in place to achieve this certification, and the investments it is making to achieve its objective of True Zero beer by 2025.

Installed CO2 vaporiser

Installation of Australia’s first CO2 vaporiser allowing recovery and conversion of liquid CO2 to gas used in the brewing process, saving 32 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.

Diverted spent grain from landfill

Directing 99.3% of spent grain – the largest waste product in brewing – to farmers in the Dandenong area for use as animal feed, rather than landfill.

Started 375kW solar project

Commencing installation of a 375kW solar project at our Dandenong brewery, the largest of any independent brewer in Australia. The system will supply 27% of Brick Lane’ energy requirements and save 374 tonnes of annual CO2 emissions.

Reduced water use ratio

Reducing the ratio of water used to beer produced by 40% to 3.7:1 in 2022 versus the 2019 baseline of 6.1:1.

Using recyclable packaging

Using only fully recyclable packaging across all Brick Lane and partner brands.

Cut energy and gas use

Reducing both the electricity and natural gas consumed per unit of beer produced by more than half since 2019 and sourcing all CO2 used in brewing from sustainable fermentation-derived sources rather than from natural gas, ammonia or other fossil fuels.

Changed refrigeration gases

Moving from artificial to natural refrigerants, eliminating green house gas and ozone depletion potential from refrigeration gasses.
