The All India Glass Manufacturers’ Federation (AIGMF) has launched an ISO 14040/44 compliant and independently reviewed study on glass packaging.
According to the study, glass has the lowest hazard in human toxicity potential when compared to other forms of packaging. The study was conducted based on data collected from 28 furnaces representing 72 per cent of Indian glass container production.
Mr. Mukul Somany, President, AIGMF said, “Glass manufactures have come together through this life cycle study to magnify the green potential of glass. In European countries per capita consumption of glass is as high as 64 kg compared to India’s 1.4 kg. It is a preferred medium because of its 100 per cent naturalness and non-reactionary nature.”
