Glass is
100%
recyclable,
endlessly.
It can be made into new
bottles again and again
without any loss in quality.1
For an average bottle,
glass can have a lower
carbon footprint than
aluminum or PET plastic.
68% glass is the
of Americans feel
greenest
packaging material.

That’s because only 4-5% of a package’s
carbon footprint comes from transportation,
and glass typically offsets that by using
more recycled content.3
