Glass makes the moments that matter 

From shared moments with all the family around one table to celebrations of life’s biggest milestones, glass is there for all the moments that matter – no matter how big or small.  And you can also make the most of glass: recycle and give glass a new endless life. 

The UN designated 2022 as the International Year of Glass, to reflect on the past, present and future of an iconic material. So join us in celebrating the International Year of Glass, and celebrate a product that’s been by our side through the ages. Choose glass.  

Support our campaign

From generation to generation, glass has always been by our side. Glass helps us make the most of life – in moments big and small. It has accompanied civilisation’s progress since the beginning, from one generation to the next, and it will continue to do so, long into the future. And you, in turn, can also make the most of glass: recycle and give glass a new endless life.
