Made from sand, soda, ash and limestone, glass is the leading packaging material for spirits, wines and beer, as well as perfumery, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. Glass offers a whole host of benefits: it’s sustainable, it’s inert, it’s 100% and infinitely recyclable, reusable and refillable. Not only that, but it’s safe to store food and drinks in – and it’s aesthetically pleasing. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled time and time again. In fact, glass is Europe’s most recycled food and beverage packaging material

Preserving History With Glass

Post by
Glass preserves may not be the most glamorous, but the human race would have had a much different story without them. From Napoleon to your dining room table, using glass to store and transport food is a technique that’s over 200 years in the making This is the truth for the humble preserve jar, which despite advances in nearly every aspect of our daily lives, have remained largely the same over the last several thousand years. But how did they come to be, and why choose glass? The story begins in 4000BC, as archaeologists have found evidence of manmade glass, although it was not until around 1500BC that the first hollow glass containers were made by covering a sand core with a layer of molten glass, thus allowing it to take on a shape for storing produce in.
HOW WE MAKE OUR DESİGNS
  Since then, it’s been up and up for the glass preserve jar, finding its way into the homes of millions if not billions of people, but what makes it so enduring? Well, glass is a non-reactive material, meaning that produce that comes in to contact with it will never be altered or damaged via association with it. This is extremely important when preserving food, as you can imagine, and when sealed, a glass jar does not allow air to flow in and out of it, ensuring that your food remains perfectly edible and delicious for sometimes years on end and thanks to the versatility of the humble preserve jar, you can store pretty much anything at all – including your favourite jams!
