FAQ

Glass is made from sand, soda ash, limestone, and recycled glass. These abundant materials are melted and transformed into new containers.

Yes. Glass is produced from naturally occurring raw materials and recycled glass, making it a trusted packaging choice.

Yes. Glass is infinitely recyclable and can be remade into new bottles and jars again and again without losing quality.

No. Glass prevents flavour transfer, helping products remain true to their intended taste.

Glass creates a strong barrier against external agents, helping protect food and beverages throughout their shelf life.

Its inert nature helps prevent interactions between the packaging and the product, preserving quality for longer.

Not always. The best solution depends on transport distances, collection systems, and local infrastructure.

Glass has become much lighter over time. Today’s lightweight designs help reduce transport emissions while maintaining performance.

The industry is investing in lower-carbon technologies, recycled content, and lighter designs to further reduce emissions.

Around 80% of used glass packaging is collected in Europe, with a goal to reach 90% collection.

Recycled glass becomes new bottles, jars, and flacons, creating a continuous closed-loop system.

Because it can be recycled endlessly into new glass packaging without losing quality or performance.

Returnable glass is collected, cleaned, and refilled multiple times before being recycled into new packaging.

They work best in local markets with efficient collection and return infrastructure.

No. Glass keeps its properties throughout multiple reuse cycles and remains suitable for recycling afterwards.

Lightweighting means reducing the amount of glass used while maintaining strength, quality, and design.

Yes. New technologies allow manufacturers to reduce weight while preserving performance and safety.

The European container glass industry is working towards net zero emissions by 2050 through multiple pathways.

Using recycled glass reduces the need for virgin raw materials and lowers emissions during production.

They are advanced technologies powered by electricity, hydrogen, or hybrid energy systems to reduce emissions.
