Production Process of Pharmaceutical Amber Glass Packaging

O vidro é um material 100% reciclável. É infinitamente reciclável, pois é feito principalmente de minerais como, areia, barrilha, calcário e feldspato.

The circular economy represents a new approach to envisioning the future, rethinking the entire lifecycle of a product—from manufacturing to disposal, including its useful life—to minimize environmental impact.

Glass is considered one of the most human-friendly packaging materials. It is 100% recyclable and infinitely recyclable, primarily made from natural minerals such as sand, soda ash, limestone, and feldspar. Glass packaging can be entirely reused in the recycling process without any material loss, transforming into new and innovative creations while remaining inert and impermeable.

By incorporating cullet into the glass production process, we reduce the need to extract raw materials from nature. Reusing virgin cullet generated during production, along with post-consumer recycled glass (PCR), in the creation of new packaging significantly decreases the consumption of virgin raw materials and energy. This process lowers CO2 emissions and contributes to environmental preservation.

For the production of amber glass packaging, more than 40% of post-consumer recycled glass (PCR) and 20% of internal cullet from our operations are utilized.

By improving recycling practices and leveraging post-consumer recycled glass (PCR), we can unlock sustainable growth opportunities within the Circular Economy model.
