Friends of Glass Spain partnered with Carlota Bruna, Alex Puértolas, Maxi Iglesias, and Curly Azahara to gather as much virtual #CheersWithGlass and their best wishes for 2022.
They were challenged by Friends of Glass to collect at least one thousand comments joining their virtual and solidary cheers with glass.
And what do most of us wish for in the New Year?
“I wish in 2022 we are more aware that our resources on this planet are not infinite” by @unlunar
“Here’s to an increasingly environmentally conscious 2022” by @behomm
(translated from Spanish)
A more sustainable world!
So, after receiving more than 1300 comments in total, Friends of Glass has announced to partner up with the NGO Teachers for the Future of Spain – which promotes environmental education and children’s contact with nature – to take their zero-waste campaign to more than 250 schools in Spain.
We like to give special thanks to Carlota Bruna, Alex Puértolas, Maxi Iglesias, and Curly Azahara for starting the toast and helping us with this campaign to raise awareness for environmental education and the role of glass in protecting our health and that of our planet.
May next year, the International Year of Glass, be the year in which we accomplish the projects we set out to do – without bottling it. The year we express our feelings openly and everything becomes crystal clear. The year optimism prevails, and we can all see the glass half full. Here’s to a 2022 where we celebrate glass to the fullest!
Why is wine stored in glass?
Glass bottles remain the best choice for wine lovers. New research showed that 94% of consumers in France prefer glass wine bottles over other packaging materials, such as bag-in-box. But why is it that we think of glass when we think of wine? Or why do we often store them horizontally? And are wine bottles sustainable?
What glass can you recycle?
More people than ever are recycling and we couldn’t be happier – as the glass industry, we love to be able to use recycled glass when we manufacture new containers. However, not all varieties can be used in production.
#EndlessCycle: How does recycling glass help protect the environment?
Have you ever wondered how glass is recycled? What happens to your used glass after you’ve put it into the bottle bank? The good news is that every single one of us can make a difference.
