GLASS. A CLEAR CHOICE.
Recycling has always been at the heart of our business.
We aim to produce our 100% recyclable glass products with zero impact on the environment, assuring that the next generations can live in a better world. We do this by applying sustainable processes throughout the organization and supporting social, economic, and cultural progress in the communities where we live and work.
By being a socially responsible corporate organization, we drive sustainability efforts together with our stakeholders and other companies to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
What we are proud of:
- 100% Recyclable products: Our products are completely recyclable without compromising quality.
- Food-safe glassware: Our glassware is 100% food-safe and environmentally friendly.
- Cullet reuse: Each new glass starts with 20% to 50% of our own pre-consumer recycled glass (cullet), reducing our environmental footprint.
- Decarbonization research: We're actively researching decarbonization methods like electrification and the use of hydrogen.
- Eco-Conscious Manufacturing: For years, we have been leading in eco-friendly manufacturing, by implementing the most sustainable furnaces in the industry in both production units.
- Cutting waste and preserving resources: Our ONIS foodservice brand prioritizes sustainable materials such as product packaging, catalogues, and leaflets. It’s now transitioning to using stands and displays made of compressed cardboard, which can be fully recycled after use.
- Innovative repurpose cycling: By repurposing existing molds, we give discontinued products a new life cycle and adapt them to current market trends.
- Environmental collaboration: We collaborate closely with national environmental and waste entities to promote recycling and upcycling.
- Paperless operations: Minimizing paper usage through digitalization of all our processes.
- Diversity and social justice: We celebrate diversity, support racial equality, and advocate for social justice.
- Community Support: We support various organizations through monetary donations and in-kind product contributions.
- Sharing is caring: We welcome local communities to visit our plants and learn about the amazing glass production process; we share the best we make.
Looking forward:
In our journey to produce a more sustainable product, we have taken and continue to take significant steps to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption, water, plastic, etc.
