 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. Cullet creation is the form of glass recycling that saves huge quantities of energy and toxic emissions, more here

“When it comes to containers, glass is always the best choice, but it's important to let the consumer know that we are committed not only to polluting less but also to ensure that our entire supply chain is as sustainable as possible…We control our suppliers and check if they work correctly not only regarding the environment, but also from a social point of view. We are still trying to build a complete supply chain that follows sustainability more and more.”
