♻️ Happy Global Recycling Day! 🌍
We’re proud to share that our amber glass now contains 60% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content, and our white flint glass now contains 42% PCR. That brings the overall average to 50% PCR across all our containers — a 10% increase since 2021!
At Beatson Clark, we are committed to using the highest quality recycled content in our glass packaging. In fact, we are the only UK glass manufacturer with our own on-site recycling plant!
Every year, we process around 44,000 tonnes of waste glass recovered from kerbside collections, bottle banks, and the hospitality trade. This glass is then processed and melted in our furnaces to make brand new bottles and jars.
