"All packaging is safe and able to protect products” 🛒 Packaging safety is not a thing of the past, and consumers are becoming increasingly demanding about it. But ensuring packaging is safe goes beyond its production – and that is where glass packaging stands out. While other materials can degrade during recycling, glass retains its integrity no matter how many times it is recycled. 🔎 Read our #PackagingUnpacked series to learn why not all packaging materials are equally safe for consumers.

🌍 The European Glass Container Industry is paving the way to net zero glass production by 2050. But what does that actually look like? And how can we work together to make this happen? On October 23, Tim Sykes from Packaging Europe will speak with Romain BARRAL from Verallia, Sonya Pump from O-I, Patrick Kraft from Gerresheimer, and Fabrice Rivet from FEVE – the European Container Glass Federation to dive into the industry's challenges and opportunities. Join us to discover more about: 1️⃣The multiple pathways to the use of low-carbon energy sources. 2️⃣Innovative projects to leverage glass' circularity and rethink designs.  3️⃣How both policymakers and brands can support these solutions to make them commercially viable. 📅 Register now to hear more on the future of glass packaging

🗓️Tomorrow is Zero Emissions Day! With decarbonisation efforts picking up pace across Europe, this is a crucial moment to reflect on and recommit to our environmental goals: 🤝 By 2050, the glass packaging industry is committed to achieving net zero production of container glass in Europe. 🤝 Companies across the industry are investing in breakthrough furnace technology that can make use of clean energies, and therefore dramatically reduce carbon emissions. 🤝 New furnace technologies include electrified melting at scale, green hydrogen trials, and building hybrid furnaces that combine renewable energy sources. The glass packaging industry is fully committed to decarbonisation to support our brand partners, and #glass is the ideal packaging to reduce emissions and support a circular economy, thanks to its unlimited recyclability as a permanent material. So on Zero Emissions Day, let's raise a glass to the collective progress towards clean energy and discover how the glass industry is moving towards a shared ambition for a low-carbon future ✨ https://lnkd.in/ePuqJy2M
