GLASS AND SUSTAINABILITY: 4 REASONS FOR CHOOSING IT

In addition to its transparency, chemical inalterability and impermeability to liquids and gases, glass possesses numerous positive aspects, also from the sustainability perspective:

SAFE FOR FOOD, BEVERAGES, COSMETICS, AND PHARMACEUTICALS PACKAGING

By preventing the passage of microbes and bacteria, glass protects its contents from the risk of contamination and infection. Glass can withstand pasteurization and sterilization processes, making it a safe and sterile packaging solution.

REUSABLE AND RECYCLABLE

Thanks to its inherent properties, glass can be recycled and reused without losing its clarity, purity, or quality. As a result, it plays a key role in the circular economy: once produced, used, and properly collected, glass can undergo treatment processes and be reintroduced into manufacturing cycles, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

THE ADVANTAGES OF CULLET

The use of properly collected and treated recycled glass cullet helps reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, save energy, and decrease the need for virgin raw materials compared with production based entirely on new raw materials.

EXCELLENT FOR PACKAGING

As a reusable and recyclable material, glass represents a sustainable alternative to single-use containers when properly treated and disposed of. The benefits of glass are also recognized by FEVE (the European Container Glass Federation), which identifies glass as one of the safest packaging materials thanks to its ability to preserve food quality and protect products from chemical contamination that may occur with packaging made from other materials.
