What we do<\/h2>\r\n

Friends of Glass is a community that supports everything to do with glass packaging as part of a move towards living a more intentional lifestyle that starts with our everyday choices. We believe glass is healthy, safe and sustainable due to its recyclability. That’s why iconic perfumes, everyday food and drinks, and artisanal producers have all built their brands on the timeless appeal of glass.<\/p>\r\n

We empower action<\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

Glass packaging is widely collected and recycled across Europe, but there\u2019s still work to be done. Through sharing tips, tricks and easy-to-read information, we encourage more and better recycling as part of a sustainable lifestyle.<\/p>\r\n \r\n Take Action\n \n<\/svg><\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Our story<\/h2>\r\n

Glass. It\u2019s an everyday material, found in every store and household. It\u2019s also a packaging material that\u2019s good for us, as part of a more intentional lifestyle.<\/p>\r\n

\"about-us-our-story\"<\/div>\r\n

How it all began<\/h3>\r\n

For thousands of years, glass has been a touchpoint of celebration, commerce, culture and science \u2013 and it continues to evolve. Created by the members of FEVE (the European Container Glass Federation), we launched Friends of Glass in 2008 to encourage more people to promote, enjoy and recycle products in glass.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Learn about FEVE\n \n<\/svg><\/a>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n

Today, Friends of Glass reaches 10M people each year<\/h3>\r\n

Through school outreach programmes, beach clean-up missions, pop-up retail activations and award-winning awareness campaigns, we\u2019ve spent the last 15 years bringing the stories of glass to life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n \r\n
