Although glass packaging is not as common as plastic food packing, it is still widely used. At any one moment, most Australians have at least a few types of glass packaging in their homes. Continue reading to learn more about how packaging suppliers are working to limit the amount of glass in landfills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plastic and aluminium are the most used types of food packaging nowadays. In fact, since the invention of plastic, the popularity of plastic food packing has skyrocketed. Glass isn’t utilised nearly as much as it formerly was due to the rise in popularity of plastic. Glass, after all, shatters and can be dangerous when broken or shattered. Plastics are far more handy for many businesses, and consumers agree. Despite this, glass continues to be employed in a variety of items.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bottles and jars are most typically made of glass<\/b><\/p>\n

That jar of spaghetti sauce can be recycled, even if you don’t realise it. In 2002, Australia recycled around 320,000 tonnes of glass bottles and jars. This equates to almost 1.2 billion bottles. They would have ended up in landfills if they hadn’t been recycled, adding to the country’s and world’s environmental problems. Glass recycling is good for the environment, and it’s one of the main selling reasons for this form of packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glass packaging manufacturers have been perfecting their manufacturing technique for years in an attempt to produce a lighter product. As a result, fewer materials are needed and less trash is generated. The typical stubby beer bottle weighed 260g in 1986. A stubby bottle of the same size weighed only 180g in 1997. This equates to a 31 percent reduction. When recycling efforts are combined, a lot less garbage is going into Australian landfills these days – and a lot of that is due to the efforts of packaging suppliers around the country. This trend will only grow as more consumers take responsibility for their own actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

To stand out among the hundreds of other competing items on the market today, it pays to be unique. Examine what your competitors are doing and ensure that you have a unique and innovative look. Packaging innovation will draw attention to your goods, aid in the development of your brand, and give it personality. Whether you like it or not, your product will be judged on its packaging first.<\/span><\/p>\n

To begin with, glass retains the natural flavour and quality<\/b><\/p>\n

Due to oxidative and hydrolytic rancidity, the product should be packed in a container that protects it from coming into contact with air and water vapour or moisture, which can cause early degradation and the creation of unwanted flavours and odours in the product.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the process occurs in a metal container, the rancidity will be catalysed, making the issue worse. Glass jars are the only material that is free of these issues. These glass jars also have airtight metal closures and gas barriers to protect them from the chemical reactions indicated above.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glass is non-reactive and inert<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0Glass is created entirely of natural resources such as sand, silica, soda ash, limestone, and alumina. These components render it inert and non-reactive, ensuring that the packed product does not react in any manner with the glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if metal containers are not properly coated, they might rust rapidly, affecting the product and reducing its shelf life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plastic pouches and bottles, especially when heated to a high temperature, can leak into the product and endanger the consumer’s health. As a result, utilising glass bottles and jars can keep the product safe and tasty for longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Offers the goods a high-end appearance<\/b><\/p>\n

In terms of appearance and appeal, there is no comparison between plastic\/metal and glass jars. Packing a product in glass jars makes it look premium and classy, increasing the odds of sales because it is ingrained in everyone’s subconscious that if the product packaging looks good, the product must be good as well. It also makes it easier for manufacturers to charge a higher price for the goods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the transparency of glass allows for a visible display of the product, assuring the consumer that everything is in working order. While an original logo and label eventually express your business, using a less expensive packing material can make your brand appear bland. As a result, it’s critical to choose packing materials like glass jars that meet this criterion very well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glass extends the shelf life of a product<\/b><\/p>\n

Because glass is a good conductor of heat, it may dissipate heat or cold more quickly than plastic pouches or jars.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, when the temperature rises above 21 degrees Celsius during transit or storage, the glass appears to be more viable since it absorbs heat more quickly. This is also conceivable with metal containers, but there are various drawbacks, as previously mentioned. Even when the temperature changes abruptly, the product in glass bottles remains the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another argument is that glass increases the likelihood of client loyalty and retention. Many individuals have recently stated on YouTube and Instagram that these empty jars may be used to decorate your home or office, thanks to the rise of DIY (do it yourself) decorations.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
