Sustainability |
- Glass is 100% infinitely recyclablewhile plastic loses quality with each recycling. - It does not generate microplastics, a serious problem in plastic. |
- Glass is reusable and recyclable without loss of quality; cardboard degrades with each recycling. - It does not depend on renewable resources such as paper, which can involve deforestation. |
|
Environmental Impact |
- Although its production has a larger initial carbon footprint, glass is reused and generates less waste. is reusable and generates less waste in the long run. |
- Glass does not contribute to deforestation and does not rely on biodegradable materials that require special conditions. |
|
Durability |
- Glass is resistant to chemical agents and does not degrade over time, while plastic can break or release harmful compounds. |
- Glass is much more resistant to physical and environmental wear and tear compared to paperboard, which is vulnerable to moisture and deterioration. |
|
Product Preservation |
- Glass offers a perfect barrier perfect barrier against gases and contaminantssomething that plastic does not fully achieve. - It does not alter the taste or properties of the contents, unlike some plastics that can leach chemicals. |
- Glass guarantees superior preservation, protecting products from moisture and contaminants, areas where cardboard is weak. |
|
Cost |
- Although more expensive than plastic, glass justifies its cost because of its quality, premium perception and reusability. quality, premium perception and reusability.. |
- Glass has a higher cost than cardboard, but compensates with a much longer shelf life. much longer shelf life and greater versatility. and greater versatility. |
|
Food Safety |
- The glass is inert and completely safeIt is inert and completely safe, with no risk of chemical contamination, something that plastic does not always guarantee. |
- Glass outperforms paperboard in food safety, as there is no risk of leaching of substances or degradation in contact with liquids. |
Glass outperforms plastic and paperboard in key attributes such as sustainability, preservation, durability, food safety and consumer perception. Although its cost and weight are higher, it is the ideal choice for brands seeking quality, luxury and a genuine commitment to the environment.
