Resource-saving glass on the rise

Sustainability is long more than a trend – it is a necessity. Particularly in the packaging industry, the demand for eco-friendly solutions is growing. A new innovation that is increasingly replacing conventional glass bottles is lightweight glass bottles. They combine stability with reduced material use, thereby actively contributing to resource conservation.Recently, we have added the Maraska lightweight glass bottles to our range. These innovative bottles provide a sustainable packaging solution for oil and vinegar and impress with their high-quality craftsmanship. But what makes lightweight glass so special, what advantages does it offer, and what innovations are driving the development further?


What are lightweight glass bottles?

Lightweight glass bottles are glass containers that are up to 30% lighter than conventional glass bottles in the same category due to optimized material distribution. This weight reduction is achieved through modern manufacturing processes that allow for material savings without compromising the stability and durability of the bottles.
