British Glass welcomes new members
Over the past few months, British Glass has welcomed several new members from across the glass supply chain.
Rawlings, a leading supplier of glass packaging in the UK, has built a reputation for quality, innovation, and sustainability over more than a century. The company provides both bespoke and off-the-shelf solutions for a variety of industries, including food, beverage, and cosmetics. Combining expert craftsmanship with modern technology, Rawlings helps brands create distinctive packaging while championing glass as a recyclable and reusable material.
Billy Thurlow, Group CCO of Rawlings Group, highlighted the benefits of joining British Glass:
“Becoming a member of British Glass was not directly influenced by a single factor but several potential benefits, which we consider important to our Group of companies. Providing solutions to the Food & Drink, Healthcare, Home Fragrance, and Cosmetic Packaging sectors, we see British Glass as ‘the voice of glass packaging’ within our industry, but also our client sectors.”
“British Glass can lead on environmental issues and the future of sustainable packaging, while providing our teams with sound technical advice often needed when developing our commercial projects. These issues are as important to us, as they are to our clients.”
Veolia, the UK’s leading resource management company, delivers waste, water, and energy services that support a circular economy and environmental protection. The company focuses on carbon reduction, preserving natural resources, protecting biodiversity, and combating climate change. Through greener products, low-carbon energy generation, and innovative material reuse, Veolia helps businesses lower their carbon footprint and improve sustainability efforts.
Glass recycling specialist Recresco operates key facilities in Ellesmere Port and Cwmbran, playing a vital role in the UK’s recycling landscape. In December 2023, Recresco was acquired by BA Glass, a multinational glass manufacturer, further enhancing its recycling capabilities and strengthening its support for the circular economy.
Dixon Glass is a global supplier and distributor of laboratory glassware, catering to the scientific and educational sectors. With extensive experience, the company offers both standard and custom glass solutions to meet the diverse needs of laboratories and research facilities worldwide.
