With nine factories in France, American glassmaker O-I Glass, one of the main producers of glass bottles and jars worldwide, completed two projects in 2023 aimed at decarbonizing its activities. At its glass bottle production facility in Vayres (Nouvelle Aquitaine region), an investment of €50 million, dedicated to the installation of the latest gas-oxygen combustion technology and a heat recovery system, resulted in up to a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and up to a 60% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions. In Puy-Guillaume (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), where jars are manufactured, more than €30 million invested in high-tech equipment for the renewal of a furnace and the repair of a production line, resulted in an increase in the factory’s production capacity, its efficiency and its energy efficiency. These investments serve O-I’s ambition to reduce its carbon emissions by 25% by 2030.
