Why Recycle Glass1

Celebrate global recycling day with glass

March 18, 2022

At O-I, we use recycled glass to make new glass containers, use fewer raw materials and the manufacturing process itself requires less energy. By using recycled glass, which is called “cullet”, in our operation, we reduce our carbon emissions. The earth loves glass; it’s virtually inert and doesn’t leach chemicals into ground.

Form Language plays a very important part in packaging design. Consumers are unconsciously drawn towards things that look & feel familiar. It is important that when we design packaging that we take clues from familiar things we know from areas such as architecture, cultural specifics or anything related to what we see in nature.

Establishing an emotional connection with the consumer through the packaging by taking this into account will help you to stand out on shelf.

How does glass answer society’s need for a sustainable future?

February 07, 2019

Across the world, we have never been as aware as we are now of the impact of human activity on the environment. Whether we’re watching plastics strangling and poisoning our fish, dioxins released by burning waste in Africa, climate change aggravating floods in Bangladesh or wildfires in California, the environment is seldom off our television screens and news media.

As a result, food and drinks makers face concentrated pressure from consumers and governments alike to reduce the environmental impact of their products, especially the packaging. Glass provides a great solution to meet the needs of the circular economy to reduce waste and keep the environment healthy.
