Here at Friends of Glass, we think that choosing glass is the obvious answer, and here is why:<\/p>\n

1.Glass Helps to Keep Your Food Fresher for Longer<\/p>\n

Jam and preserve makers throughout the generations have known that there\u2019s only one choice when it comes to storing their creations, and that\u2019s glass. Whether storing snacks or leftovers, you simply can\u2019t beat glass bottles and jars when it comes to keeping food fresher for longer.<\/p>\n

2.Glass is endlessly recyclable<\/p>\n

Glass lovers know that when they choose glass they are taking a positive stand for the environment. Even when a glass bottle reaches the end of its life, it is 100% recyclable as it can be melted down and used to produce more glass products. This makes glass one of the most eco-friendly materials available.<\/p>\n

3.Glass Encourages Creative Upcycling<\/p>\n

From cakes and pies baked in glass jars, creative storage solutions, homemade gifts ideas to photo frames and tea light lanterns \u2013 glass jars and bottles can be reused around the house in so many ways.<\/p>\n
