Glass packaging preserves the taste of beverages and the nutritions. It is also used for high-quality packaging for perfumes and cosmetics. Glass also provides safe protection for various types of pharmaceuticals.
In short: hardly any other packaging material can be used in such a versatile and cross-sector manner as glass.
Glass is produced almost exclusively from natural raw materials, which occur in sufficient quantities in nature and can be largely mined in Germany. This saves long transport distances - a real plus for the environment and climate. This makes glass a sustainable material and used glass a valuable raw material.
But sustainable packaging must not only meet ecological criteria. Thanks to its inertness, glass is one of the safest packaging materials because it allows practically no interaction between packaging and contents.
