Glass is a historic packaging material that has been used for thousands of years dating back to the ancient Egyptians. Glass offers a clean, chemical free, sturdy, and natural approach to packaging. While mostly offered in products such as jars for flower, we can utilize glass for pre-roll tubes, tincture bottles, as well as those classic jar bases.
your impact
You are choosing a highly recyclable, time-tested product with a high perceived value from consumers. Glass is often reused, which is a highly sustainable practice and also has the added benefit of keeping your brand top of mind. Glass is an excellent alternative to single-use plastics and contributes to keeping our communities and oceans free of plastic pollution.
Glass is made from naturally occurring and abundant material inputs; sand, soda ash, and limestone unlike that of its plastic counterparts.
Glass is 100% recyclable, in the recycling process glass does not lose quality meaning that it really should never end up in a landfill setting as it can be repurposed over and over (unfortunately we know glass, like many products, can be incorrectly sorted and end up in a landfill).
Glass, like tin, gives the end user a certain perceived value both due to its weight and the expectation of the end user that the packaging they receive will be plastic. When surprised with a nice glass jar, that end user is more likely to repurpose the jar than one made of plastic.
