Glass Packaging

Glass is a perennial favorite for packaging for many reasons. Primarily, glass is infinitely recyclable and free of harmful chemicals and additives.

The process to recycle and reuse glass can be fast, as it can take as little as 30 days for a glass container to go from recycling bin to store shelf. Glass also has a high success rate for recycling – 80% of glass that is recovered through recycling is made into new glass products


Glass is used across a broad array of product categories, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, health and beauty and more! Learn more about MJS Packaging’s glass capabilities and product
