Glass is one of the oldest packaging materials and still maintains an important place today. Made from sand, ash, soda and limestone, glass is the leading packaging material for wines, spirits and beer, as well as perfumery, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. 

Glass is made from all-natural sustainable raw materials. It is people’s go-to packaging for consumers’ concerned about their health and the environment. Consumers prefer glass packaging for preserving a product’s taste and flavor, and in the same time maintaining the integrity or healthiness of foods and beverages. Glass is the only widespreadly-used packaging material considered “GRAS” or “generally recognized as safe” by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly with no loss in quality or purity. Glass recycling is a closed loop system, creating no additional waste or by-products. Glass is one of the very few examples where the same material can be recycled over and over again without loss of quality.

Environmental concens over plastic is the reason why the glass packaging prospers.
