2014 was a stellar year for learning more about the benefits of glass packaging – not only for health, but also for taste!
Food and drink that have been packaged in glass retain the original flavour and scent – so what you see is what you get. But why talk about it when we can demonstrate it live? And that’s just what we did – cue, the glassware party!
Our Glassware Parties rolled out from autumn 2014 across Europe. These were fun events, hosted in main European cities, where chefs, nutritionists, and even celebrities, spent an afternoon with our blogger community to learn more about the benefits of glass packaging, especially in regards to the taste of food and drink, with an afternoon of cooking with glass.
By the end of the event, our Friends of Glass all had the same thing to say – glass packaging best preserves the taste of your food and drink, and doesn’t leach into or contaminate the contents within. So next time you’re at the supermarket, think about what difference would be made to your recipe with products in glass!
And when you do try out your recipe, be sure to share it with us on the Recipes in Glass Facebook App – an online, real time, glassware party in itself! And the most popular recipe by the end of the year will win a hamper full of delicious products in glass, to enjoy in the New Year. To read more about these events, check out our website – and our Facebook app, and let us know what you think about cooking with glass!
Healthy packaging, healthy families: What makes glass the healthy choice?
Did you know: every week, the average person ingests up to one credit card worth of plastic from food, water, or the air? You are what you eat – and that includes how it’s packaged. That’s why when it comes to our favourite food and drink, we need to look beyond the label.
Why does coke taste better in glass?
Soft drinks come in different tastes, shapes, and sizes. From coke to club soda, ginger beer or fruit sodas – there is a flavour for everyone. The most famous of all is probably Coca-Cola, the dark brown carbonated soft drink, campaigns, but which tastes good all year round.
But what is the best way to enjoy your favourite soda? Do soft drinks taste better when they come in glass compared to other packaging materials? Why did Coca-Cola decide to design their unique bottles with glass? And what is the best way to store coke at home to keep you drink fizzy and fresh for when you decide to open it? Read on to find the answers.
Choose Health, Choose Glass
We’re all trying to live better and more sustainably, from how we consume and dispose of products to how we look after our own health. Yet packaging remains crucial to preserve products through delivery and storage, and to ensure longer shelf stability of products once purchased. By offering a material that’s not just endlessly recyclable but remains food safe throughout the closed-loop recycling process, glass packaging continues to provide strong sustainable benefits for the health of both people and planet. Glass is never a waste.
