Glass: A Clear And Sustainable Choice

Glass containers, which were traditionally preferred for food packaging due to their intrinsic safe and sustainable properties, have been replaced with new polymer packaging (flexible or rigid) due to convenience and cost pressure in India. The developed world has also gone through this phase and faced challenges - but with the new NNPB technology, and external coatings, glass packaging has become lighter, stronger and cost-effective. In India too, the glass industry has commercialised this technology, first in the pharmaceutical sector, and now focusing on the food and drinks sector - to bring back the consumer preference of safe and sustainable food packaging within optimum cost.
