Going Plastic-Free: How Glass Packaging Supports a Sustainable Future This July and Beyond

Plastic Free July is more than a campaign – it’s a movement inspiring individuals and businesses to reduce single-use plastics and protect the planet. At Glassworks International, we’re not just talking about change, we’re delivering it. This month, we’re proud to stand with eco-conscious brands and customers by offering sustainable alternatives to plastic through our wide range of recyclable glass bottles and jars.

Why Plastic-Free Matters

The statistics are sobering: over 300 million tonnes of plastic are produced globally each year and half of it is single-use. Most of it doesn’t get recycled. Instead, it pollutes our oceans, landscapes and even enters our food chain. That’s why Plastic Free July matters and why glass is a better solution.

Why Glass is the Smarter, Greener Choice

100% recyclable – Glass can be endlessly recycled without loss of quality.

Non-toxic and safe – Glass doesn’t leach chemicals into food or drink.

Lightweight options – Our specially developed lightweight bottles and food jars reduce shipping emissions while maintaining durability. 

Premium feel – Consumers trust glass packaging for quality and sustainability.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Packaging

At Glassworks, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. From supporting zero-waste and refillable brands to introducing lower-carbon production techniques, we’re constantly working to reduce the environmental impact of packaging.

This July, we’re highlighting our partnerships with UK producers who are switching from plastic to glass; helping them meet EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) targets and build packaging strategies that align with circular economy goals.

Real Impact, Real Stories

We’re proud to supply packaging to some of the UK’s most innovative food and beverage brands who are leading the way in plastic reduction and sustainable packaging. Whether it’s a craft kombucha company ditching PET bottles for sleek amber glass, or a startup moving to recycled-content jars, every choice matters.

We invite all businesses – big or small, to explore the benefits of switching to glass. Whether you’re a winemaker, jam producer, or sauce brand, there’s a better, greener option waiting for you.
