We have recently introduced a new product line of glass containers. It is part of our wider commitment to bringing sustainable packaging solutions to the UK market. As Invopak’s Procurement Lead, Elise Wilkes, explains, “Sustainability is one of the packaging industry’s biggest challenges. Glass is reusable, and it recycles forever, making it a more eco-conscious choice. We’ve introduced our new glass products in response to customer demand, and they're a great addition to our technical packaging range.”

Glass is one of the most recycled materials in the UK, with approximately 74% of container glass collected being recycled, according to the government’s latest statistics. According to WRAP, using recycled glass in manufacturing can cut energy use by up to 30% and reduce CO₂ emissions significantly. Invopak’s glass range aligns with the UK Government’s Resources and Waste Strategy, which prioritises materials that can be infinitely recycled.
Glass packaging brings other benefits too, as Elise highlights, “Our borosilicate glass containers are specially designed for lab use; they can withstand the high temperatures and harsh chemicals necessary for scientific research. We’re also offering amber glass as an option, which protects the contents against light damage as well as clear soda glass jars and bottles.”
The new collection includes glass vials, perfect for lab use and sampling
When it comes to packaging, many customers prefer glass. The public’s perception of glass as a recyclable, non-toxic, premium product means that it is a good fit for the cosmetics, food and drink and pharmaceutical industries, which Invopak currently supplies.
This launch reflects our ongoing commitment to providing sustainable packaging solutions, helping businesses transition to greener alternatives without compromising performance.
