Welcome to Douglas Laing & Co
A Passion for Whisky. A Passion for Sustainability.
Established in 1948, Douglas Laing is a proudly independent, family owned Scotch Whisky business in its third generation. Over 70 years of heritage have helped us to refine our processes, and deliver Whisky that is consistently exceptional in its offering.
Abiding to the philosophy of presenting Whisky as the Distiller intended, we add nothing and take nothing away from our spirit, enabling you and Whisky lovers around the world to come as close as they possibly can to sampling a dram straight from the Cask.
At Douglas Laing, we share your ethical choices and as part of this we aim to package our whisky using sustainable packaging solutions.
Recycling the tube packaging, responsibly
Learn about our tube separation feature
At Douglas Laing, we employ the principles of Design for Sustainability to improve the recyclability of our products.
Our tubes now include a discrete line of perforations on the back of the pack allowing the cardboard body and metal base to be easily separated from each other and recycled.
Our packaging allows you to make an ethical consumer choice and recycle responsibily.
When disposing of the packaging, please follow the "on-pack recycling label" (OPRL) guidance below. The OPRL scheme aims to deliver simple and clear advice to consumers on how they can reuse then recycle in their local area.
For UK use only. Please check your local market recycling standards for more information.
We actively ensure our ingredients, materials, distillery methods and environmental efforts are as sustainable as possible by considering the end-to-end impact, from design and production, to transport and disposal.
Our whisky is packed in 100% recyclable packaging. Our tubes have the same distinctive look and feel, but it has been adapted to be easily recyclable at home.
Our tubes are made with 90% recycled content giving additional life to recycled paper that no longer has the performance criteria for other applications.
Our tubes are produced within 20 miles of our production facility minimising Co2e associated with transport.
The energy used to produce our tubes come from renewable sources including one third off which comes through installed solar panels which produce energy on site.
The tube comprises a paper body and metal base and lid. These two materials have amongst the highest recycling rates of any readily used to make packaging. They require no specialist processing to recycle and are widely recovered globally.
