GLASS:

In terms of sustainable packaging, glass is it! Glass is so versatile that it can either be reused time and time again, or recycled, over and over; all the while contributing to a decrease in waste production.

PLASTIC:

All plastic products can be identified by a little triangular symbol that carries a number from 1 to 7; usually found on the bottom of the container. This number helps the consumer identify the type of plastic that has been used. Understanding these number codes makes it easier for consumers to identify whether or not a plastic container can be recycled
