Consumers’ concerns about sustainability are increasing as they consciously consider the impact of the products they purchase. Eager to reduce their environmental footprint, consumers expect businesses to do more to help them with making more sustainable product choices – from purchase to disposal.

It’s no surprise that consumers are choosing food and beverages in sustainable packaging. Glass is not only infinitely recyclable, but also a natural and healthy pack type that preserves the quality of the products it protects.

To raise awareness of all the benefits of glass packaging, the industry has created the Glass Hallmark, a symbol that represents all the positive attributes of glass, to help consumers make informed decisions when shopping.

The Glass Hallmark symbolises the unique characteristics of glass packaging that support a sustainable future and:

• its infinite recyclability without any loss in purity or quality.
• its inert nature, vital for preserving the quality of the product inside.

The Glass Hallmark reminds consumers what they already love about glass, and its role in creating a sustainable future.

To use the Glass Hallmark on your glass packaging please visit www.glasshallmark.com or talk to your Ardagh Glass Packaging representative.

Glass provides the highest level of protection; nothing gets in or out, so food stays fresh and the taste of the product is preserved. From baby food to vegetables and coffee to cooking sauces, glass bottles and jars are available in every conceivable size and shape.

Glass is a great choice for alcoholic beverage packaging because of its endless design possibilities and infinitely recyclable properties. As Europe’s largest glass manufacturer, we are able to recycle glass to create stunning beverage bottles without losing quality or purity in the process. Glass also helps to retain the freshness of the alcoholic drink. These are sold in an array of colours and designs. Glass provides the ideal packaging, with endless creative possibilities for eye-catching designs and decorative techniques.

Glass packaging is perfect for pharmaceuticals due to its ability to be sterilised easily, being resistant to temperatures and non-reactive to chemicals. In an industry where protection and safety are paramount, glass packaging solutions provide an excellent option. When product protection and safety are of the utmost importance, an inert material such as glass is the ideal packaging option. Glass packaging safeguards contents from oxygen ingress and cross-contamination, providing the ultimate protection.
