Germersheim: Ardagh Glass lowers CO2 emissions with light wine bottles

The Ardagh Glass company has expanded its product range at the plant in Germersheim. In addition, innovative, lightweight wine bottles are new, which are not only more environmentally friendly, but also reduce CO2 emissions. These bottles represent an important step in the sustainable packaging industry.

with a weight of only 360 grams per bottle instead of the usual 410 grams, production becomes considerably more efficient. The use of up to 80 percent old glass in production helps to reduce CO2 emissions per bottle by about 12 percent. This is particularly noteworthy because the glass packaging sector is increasingly dependent on sustainable practices to minimize the ecological footprint.

Details on the new range of bottles

The new range includes 750-milliters bordeaux and flip bottles. Both bottle types can be provided with screw or cork closure. They are also available in different shades of green and in white and royal blue. This selection enables customers to choose a packaging solution that is both practical and aesthetically appealing.

Ardagh Glass, which belongs to the Ardagh Group, has established itself as one of the leading providers in the packaging industry. In Germany, the group runs a total of eight glassworks, with Germersheim being one of the key situations. The company focuses on the production of beverage bottles and thus not only serves the food and beverage industry, but also customers from the pharmaceutical industry.

The decision to expand the product range reflects Ardagh Glass's commitment to sustainability and innovation. At a time when environmentally friendly packaging solutions are required, the company shows with this step that it takes the needs of the market and the requirements for CO2 reduction seriously. The products are not only functional, but also contribute to reducing environmental impacts, which is a decisive advantage in today's industry.
