GLASS IS 100% RECYCLABLE!
A glass bottle can be recycled into a new glass bottle infinitely without losing its quality.
​
In a single melting batch, recycled glass (Cullet) can replace up to 85% of raw materials, helping to significantly conserve natural resources.

WHY GLASS?
EXPERIENCE
Glass delivers a powerful multi-sensory experience, creating emotional connections with consumers.
TASTE
Glass is the guardian of flavor. Odorless and non-reactive, it preserves taste exactly as intended. When great taste matters, glass makes the difference.
HEALTH
Pure and impermeable, glass protects freshness and quality. It is easy to clean, sterilize, and reuse - an ideal choice for today’s health-conscious consumers. Glass is also the only food-contact material classified as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. FDA.
SUSTAINABILITY
Glass is made from 3 natural ingredients: Sand, Limestone and Soda ash. It also has endless lives: it is 100 percent recyclable, from bottle to bottle, endlessly without loss of quality.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIC
At BJC Glass, sustainability is more than a commitment - it is a long-term transformation journey embedded across our manufacturing operations, innovation strategy, and partnerships. We focuses on accelerating low-carbon manufacturing, advancing circular packaging solutions, protecting people and communities, and creating shared sustainability impact across the value chain.​

WHY DO WE NEED TO RECYCLE GLASS?
Protecting the environment​
Recycling glass helps reduce landfill waste and limits soil and water pollution.
​
​
​
​
​
Conserving natural resources
Glass is made from sand, soda ash, and limestone. Recycling helps reduce the need for raw material extraction, contributing to the protection of natural ecosystems.
​
​
Reducing COâ‚‚ emissions
​
Using recycled glass (cullet) in production significantly lowers the melting temperature, thereby reducing energy consumption compared to using raw materials. Less energy consumption means lower carbon emissions.
Supporting a circular economy
Recycling is not only an environmental action but also an economic opportunity: it creates jobs, optimizes production costs, and supports sustainable development.
