Introduction

Glass is one of the most trusted and tested packaging materials in terms of health, taste and the environment safety. Glass packaging is 100% recyclable and can be recycled, repeatedly without loss in quality or purity. Presently, around 80% of the glass that is recovered is converted into new glass products. Additionally, glass consists of a single material, which reduces energy and material waste during production.

Glass packaging keeps the products safe and healthy for longer periods because glass is non-reactive with many consumable and non-consumable products. Glass is commonly known for its recyclability and reuse. This makes it the best packaging product for alcoholic, non-alcoholic beverages, and pharmaceutical products. Glass has a number of properties such as sterility, chemical inertness, and malleability, and water-resistance, which make it more appropriate for packaging a variety of perishable and non-perishable products.
