A package with nothing to hide.
Glass is made from four simple materials and can be recycled endlessly without losing quality or purity. That is not a program — it is the material itself.
Watch glass come back around
Four materials. Nothing hidden.
Every container starts as a controlled blend of sand, limestone, soda ash, and recycled glass.
Sand
Silica — the base of every batch.
Limestone
Adds stability and durability to the finished glass.
Soda Ash
Lowers the melting point of the mix.
Recycled Glass
Cullet goes straight back into the furnace.
From batch to bottle and back again
- Step 1
Batch
Raw materials and recycled cullet are blended to a controlled recipe.
- Step 2
Melt & Form
The batch melts and is formed into containers built to your specification.
- Step 3
Fill & Enjoy
Glass protects flavor and purity — nothing leaches into the product.
- Step 4
Recycle
Containers return as cullet and are melted again, with no loss of quality.
