Enhance Confidence for Your Wine Consumers
An EcoStepTM mark on your packaging will inform consumers that you’ve made a more sustainable packaging choice for your business and for the planet.
At WinePak, we use a sophisticated lifecycle analysis (LCA) tool to evaluate the supply chains of the bottles in our EcoStepTM catalog. This means that the EcoStepTM mark is reserved for packaging products that incorporate core sustainability factors such as bottle weight, location of the manufacturer, and environmental practices across the product supply chain.
By choosing packaging that displays the EcoStepTM mark, wineries can better target consumers who care about sustainable brands. It’s the right thing to do—and it’s one of our Operating Principles at TricorBraun WinePak-- Do Things the Right Way, Always.
When you partner with us, we’ve got your back when it comes to sourcing the high-quality sustainable packaging that’s right for your winery.

Celebrating Women in Wine
Being a sustainable brand isn’t just about protecting the earth; wineries should also walk the walk via corporate values, hiring practices, vendor selection, and a wide range of other factors. From embracing diversity to creating opportunities for women and minorities to thrive, the wine industry is showing consumers that the wines they buy reflect the values they want in the brands they buy from.
In 2024, TricorBraun WinePak sponsored the Excellence in Sustainability Award, honoring two women who made significant strides in implementing sustainable and environmentally responsible practices within the wine industry.

A Sustainable Solution for Today’s Consumers
From sustainable acreages to diversity in teams and leaders, consumers are increasingly rewarding wineries that walk the walk on sustainability. Of the 80 million American adults who drink wine, younger (AGES 21–39), more multicultural consumers are the largest segment of the high-end wine market.1 They might not purchase in large quantities, but they look for quality and are willing to trade up for sustainability.
Sustainability initiatives often extend into the entire value chain, including packaging, shipping, distribution, and corporate values.

say they are always and often purchasing something organic or sustainably grown.2
These same Millennials now consume wine at higher rates than Baby Boomers—and spend on average over $65 per bottle.3 For these consumers, it’s not just about the glass—it’s also about what your business values and how your wine is produced, from eco-friendly farming to packaging to your overall carbon footprint. At WinePak, we know there are a lot of moving parts and careful choices involved in becoming a more sustainable business. We’re focused on helping wineries big and small lower your carbon footprint and showcase your commitment to sustainability.
