How sustainable is your sip?
Join us at the Business Iceland booth for a fun sustainability game! Grab a chilled can of Collab—a sustainable Icelandic drink from Ölgerðin—and take your best guess at its footprint. How many suppliers does it take to bring one can to your hand? What’s its carbon footprint?  

Most people are surprised by the answer. Play the game, enjoy a Collab, and discover how Klappir makes the invisible impact of supply chains visible.
