As the importance of sustainable packaging continues to rise, a new resource, www.friendsofglass.com, presents helpful attributes about the value of glass. The website showcases glass containers and offers information including:

• A recycled glass bottle may return to the shelves in as few as 70 days.
• Today, glass containers are 40 percent lighter than they were 20 years ago.
• Glass is the only single layer packaging that does not require additional layers.
• Recycling four glass bottles could conserve enough energy to power a refrigerator for a full day.

The website also contains a blog with additional, timely insight.
