Why glass?
Glass keeps our favourite food and drinks tasting pure and the flavours fresh, without unwanted chemicals creeping in over time. It’s the only packaging material that’s both inert and endlessly recyclable into new bottles and jars, without any loss in quality. That’s why we believe that choosing and recycling more products in glass can help us to live healthier lives, while being mindful of our impact on the planet.
Health benefits
Made from ingredients found in nature – sand, soda ash and limestone, along with recycled glass – glass is inert, non-toxic, and needs no chemicals or plastic linings to protect what’s inside.

Glass is so much more than just a bottle or jar.
A bottle isn’t just a bottle. A jar isn’t just a jar. Glass is much more than the ingredients it’s made from or the product it holds – it’s a guardian of taste, an infinite shape-shifter, and a creative canvas.
