It’s easy to forget that there’s more to your food than ingredients.

People love food – but how often do we stop to consider what’s on the outside of our food as well? Packaging plays a crucial role in the taste, sustainability and nutrition of food and beverages – but is often ignored completely. We believe that people should put just as much care and consideration into their food packaging as they do their food.  

Join us in looking beyond the label

Don’t just look at the label. Look beyond the label – because packaging matters. Professor Dieter Schrenk, Department of Food Chemistry at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, tells us more as an independent, scientific expert about the important role glass packaging plays in preserving your food and drink.
