Sustainable Packaging: Eco-Friendly and Unbreakable

Glass, on the other hand, cannot boast a very low weight, but is returnable, recyclable and absolutely safe. “Glass is inert, so that practically no interaction can occur between contents and packaging,” explains Johann Overath, the Managing Director of the Federal Association of the German Glass Industry. In addition, it is made almost totally from raw materials that occur in sufficient quantities in nature. This appeals to consumers who value pure taste and want to consume products from a “healthy” packaging. According to a survey by the European Container Glass Federation (FEVE), 75 percent of Europeans prefer glass as a packaging material, as it contributes to a healthy lifestyle.
