Glass jars - an ecological change
Glass jars stand out thanks to the quality and healthiness of plastic packaging. A very big advantage of glass is that it does not react chemically with food and other raw materials contained in glass containers. Food can be stored in the glass without the risk of changing its composition, even for many years. Glass jars are perfect for adhesives, plastics, art paints, cosmetics, and much more. Glass packaging can be used many times. Can be recycled. Broken bottles, jars can be re-processed into the same products or different.

- sweet,
- sour,
- oily,
- loose,
- dried,
- alcoholic beverages.
These jars can contain fruit, vegetable, herbal, cereal, grains, etc. Regardless of the consistency of the food, always glass jars will maintain the correct composition of the food by not reacting with it. Such packaging will be perfect for canned meat, jams, plum jam, mayonnaise, ready meals, purees, pickles, juices, competes, and others.
Tightly stoppered glass bottles with drinks, juices, purees, or hermetically sealed glass jars with preserves should be stored according to the food manufacturer's information.

- Food industry with an ecological focus
Mass production of various food preparations requires huge amounts of unit packaging. Consumers are eager to buy processed foods. Most often they choose preserves in glass jars. This type of packaging is very practical for customers because after using their contents, the jars will be reused, e.g. for storing dried herbs, pickled mushrooms, or as an organizer on the desk.
Chipped or broken jars can still be used after they have been reprocessed in the glass factory. So there are no glass jars in landfills. The same applies to glass bottles, both white and colored glass. This is a very big plus for ecology. Protecting the planet from unnecessary littering has become a priority in the fight for a clean globe.
Why glass jars instead of plastic lightweight packaging?
Plastic containers have a short shelf life. After some time, they change their chemical composition. Sometimes they also react with substances stored in them. This also applies to food.
Changes in plastic containers, both in the first and second cases, can be seen even with the naked eye. The appearance of the plastic in the form of color changes or the packaging is deformed. Besides, they have very poor biodegradability and litter the Earth for hundreds of years.
