Why does food taste better in glass?<\/h2>\r\n

Glass keeps our favourite food and drinks tasting pure and the flavours fresh, without unwanted chemicals creeping in over time. It\u2019s the only packaging material that\u2019s both inert and endlessly recyclable into new bottles and jars, without any loss in quality. That\u2019s why we believe that choosing and recycling more products in glass can help us to live healthier lives, while being mindful of our impact on the planet.<\/p>\r\n

Glass keeps flavours intact<\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

Glass is naturally odourless, tasteless, and inert, so it preserves ingredients without affecting their flavour. That means food stays fresh, vibrant, and free from chemical reactions \u2013 bringing every aroma, vitamin, and texture straight to your table.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Glass protects food from external elements<\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

Glass needs no other ingredients, chemicals, or plastic linings to protect our food. Thanks to its chemical make-up, even the tiniest molecules can\u2019t pass through the glass barrier to affect the flavours inside, and likewise,\u202fbottles and containers don\u2019t absorb any chemicals or contaminants\u202ffrom what\u2019s inside. This \u202fkeeps food and drink fresher for longer.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Glass is made from natural ingredients<\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

We are what we eat, and that includes the packaging. While glass is a single-layer material made entirely from natural ingredients (sand, soda ash and limestone), the same cannot be said of other types of packaging<\/a>. Even when recycled over and over again, glass maintains its quality and inertness, meaning there is no risk of it releasing toxic chemicals into food, drink, or even the environment.<\/p>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\n

Look in your fridge or pantry, and you\u2019ll probably notice just how much comes in glass: yoghurts, sauces, jams and condiments. That’s because unlike other materials, glass doesn\u2019t need any extra layers, synthetic chemicals or additives to protect what\u2019s inside.

DID YOU KNOW?<\/p>\r\n

Glass is \u201cinert\u201d. That means that there are no chemical reactions between product and packaging.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
