Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of what we do every day.

Glass is infinitely recyclable! When recycled back into container glass, no degradation to material or quality composition occurs, and can be recycled endlessly.

For every 6 tons of recycled glass (cullet) used in container manufacturing, CO2 emissions are reduced by 1 ton.

Each ton of recycled glass reduces raw material (sand, soda ash, and limestone) usage by 1.2 tons. This impact helps to reduce mining of finite resources, the processing of those mined materials, and the freight to transport the raw material.

Energy consumption is also impacted – for every 10% increase in cullet used in the container manufacturing process, energy usage is reduced by 2-3%.
