Raising the standard, one container at a time. 

The Glass Champions campaign shines a spotlight on the brands, retailers, and independent groups that choose glass as their primary packaging. Glass isn’t just a container—it’s a statement. A mark of quality, integrity, and commitment to products that deserve the best.

By choosing glass, these champions uphold high standards in packaging—whether it’s for food, drink, cosmetics, or beyond. They recognise glass for what it is: pure, endlessly reusable, and a trusted choice for consumers who care about what they buy.

The Glass Champions badge is a sign of excellence. It highlights businesses that stand by glass for its premium feel, its environmental credentials, and its ability to preserve products without compromise.

Join us in recognising those who put quality first. Explore our champions, discover why glass matters, and be part of a movement that celebrates the very best in packaging.
