Ecological concerns linked to the manufacture of glass
Across our glass plants, we’re committed to reducing the ecological footprint of bottle production by implementing a broad set of initiatives
Lug-type and continuous-thread closures
If acronyms like CT, TW, T/O, or Lug look familiar, they’re shorthand used in the packaging industry to describe cap styles and the way they thread onto bottles and jars. The best choice can vary based on what’s inside the container and the sealing method, as each closure type can offer different advantages.
Lightweight glass bottles and jars: strong benefits fueling sustainability
As sustainability takes center stage, brands and consumers are gravitating toward packaging that balances performance, visual appeal, and environmental stewardship. Lightweight glass has emerged as a leading answer to this need. It delivers all the benefits of traditional glass — purity, recyclability, and a premium feel — while using less material, lowering emissions, and offering better cost efficiency.
Recognizing Why Child-Resistant Packaging Matters
Packaging designed to resist opening by children is essential for protecting young kids from dangerous substances.

But have you ever stopped to think about what happens to all those glass bottles after we toss them out? Well, here’s the exciting part: they’re given a second life through glass recycling! Isn’t that amazing?
Advancements in Glass Bottle Production Technology
Advancements in science and technology, along with a growing emphasis on environmental responsibility, have driven significant technological progress in the glass bottle manufacturing sector. These breakthroughs have led to higher production efficiency, enhanced product quality, and a decreased environmental footprint.
What Causes Glass Jars and Bottles to Break During High-Temperature Sterilization?
During everyday business interactions, it’s common for new clients — often start-up food or beverage companies with little experience in filling processes — to inquire about whether our glass bottles and jars can withstand high temperatures.
