#16 Claudio Agostini - Vetri Speciali - Wild Glass - recycled materials

How can we reduce the negative impacts of packaging - one effective way is recycling glass and accepting visually imperfect recycled glass bottles and lighter weight bottles. Claudio Agostini from glass packaging manufacturer Vetri Speciali explains in this episode the development and production process of glass bottles made with 100% recycled glass materials. Vetri Speciali: https://www.vetrispeciali.com/ Wild Glass: https://www.vetrispeciali.com/fr/wild-glass Estal packaging:  https://www.estal.com/es/distribucion-global-package-llc-.htm Cullet:  is defined as recycled broken or waste glass used in glassmaking, and furnace-ready cullet is uniform in size, free of contaminants and often sorted by color.

We are still trying to build a complete supply chain that follows sustainability more and more.”
