🌍 Why Should We Use Glass? 🍶 In our latest clip, we dive into the benefits of using glass as a sustainable packaging option. Here from Scott DeFife from the Glass Packaging Institute on why glass is an eco-friendly choice: ♻️ Infinitely Recyclable – Glass can be recycled over and over, turning back into bottles without losing quality. ✅ Non-toxic & Inert – No toxic chemicals, no interaction with the product, and best for taste! 🐾 Eco-friendly – Unlike plastic, glass doesn’t harm wildlife or contribute to microplastics if it escapes the recovery stream. 🏠 Local Production – Glass is typically produced and recycled close to home, reducing transportation emissions.

"Recyclable” and “Sustainable" are so often interchangeably used, even though many recyclable materials are not endlessly so. Glass is the only infinitely - yes, forever ever - recyclable material. Not to mention some packaging materials are made with chemicals that are continually proven to be harmful to our health while glass is made from natural, raw materials. Food for thought! #chooseglass #sustainablepackaging #recyclable #recyclablepackaging
