Glass is the trusted and proven packaging for health, taste and the environment. It is also the only widely used food packaging granted the FDA status of "GRAS" or generally recognised as safe -the highest standard available. Glass has many benefits, including but not limited to the following. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity. 80% of the glass that is recovered is made into new glass products (by comparison metal is at about 65%, paper at about 60% and PET is at about 30%). A glass container can go from a recycling bin to a store shelf in as little as 30 days. This is twice the speed of an aluminum can returning to the shelf. Glass is non-porous and impermeable, so there are no interactions between glass packaging and products to affect the flavour of food and beverages. Glass also has an almost zero rate of chemical interactions, ensuring that the products inside a glass bottle keep their strength, aroma, and flavour.
