When Blue Planet II came onto our TV screens last autumn, it sparked a conversation about the impact our behaviour on land has on the marine environment. The future of the ocean is under threat, and the packaging you choose plays a role. So what do you look for in your packaging?

Why is packaging so important?
Our oceans are under threat and the packaging you choose plays a role.
In 2015, across the EU, 19% of all packaging was plastic - generating 15.8 million tonnes of it. At a time when we're worried about the impact of microplastics in our food chains and the sheer amount of plastic in the seas, we need to be considering what we can do through the stuff we buy to reduce the amount of plastic.
Glass is unrivalled in its sustainability credentials: it is endlessly recyclable and unlike other packaging materials, glass doesn’t release harmful chemicals into the environment. Friends of Glass is a community that appreciates the unique quality of glass as a packaging material and wants to highlight how it can play a role in stopping the plastic tide.
