October 6, 2026
We all know that staying hydrated is important, whether we’re at work, exercising, travelling or simply going about our everyday routines.
Glassworks International manufacture and supply a wide range of bottles and jars in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours.
We are the UK’s leading independent specialist in the manufacture, supply and design of best quality glass bottles and jars. For 25 years, customers throughout the UK and Europe have been relying on Glassworks International for wholesale purchasing of glass bottles and jars.
Introducing our range of Lightweight Glass products, developed to help our customers lower emissions, cut costs and improve their sustainability by:
✓ Lowering their environmental impact.
✓ Reducing packaging costs.
✓ Improving supply efficiency.
✓ Supporting EPR Compliance.
✓ Glass is 100% recyclable and infinitely reusable. Plastic? Not even close.
✓ Glass has a higher recycling rate (69.8%) than plastic (51.4%). Yet, under EPR, plastic gets a lower cost burden.
✓ EPR is based on weight, not sustainability. A 500ml glass bottle is taxed far more than its plastic equivalent.
✓ This policy pushes businesses AWAY from glass and TOWARDS plastic.
