Glass packaging manufacturer Saint-Gobain Containers (www.sgcontainers.com) has unveiled its ECO-Series™ collection of three beer bottles designed to reduce the overall impact on the environment. According to the company, the bottles allow breweries to support their sustainability objectives while maintaining the quality, specifications, and variety needed, all while reducing the weight of the bottle.
The ECO-Series collection includes three different bottles styles, each available in a 12-oz size in Amber color with twist and pry-off finishes:
• Heritage is the company’s lightest stock beer-bottle option available, with a recessed panel that provides label protection and a shorter height that allows for more bottles per pallet.
• Legacy is an alternative to the traditional 9-in.-long neck height, with an 8.5-in. height, and features a tapered shoulder design and a larger body diameter.
• Tradition is a lightweight version of the traditional longneck with a large label panel that provides space for a variety of label sizes. The straight neck allows for easier neck-label application.
Design processes for ECO-Series
Saint-Gobain Containers employed two company-wide initiatives—the Vision4Glass Process and Vision2Sustain—to design the ECO-Series. Using those initiatives, as well as best practices identified by the company’s engineers, reductions in the use of raw materials and energy consumption in production of glass containers have been achieved. Additionally, the company uses 100% of the recycled glass containers it collects, resulting in further reductions.

In college we used to do a thing called "phone calls"...drinking straight out of the tap. Now that I'm 41 it isn't as cool :) I like the idea of eco bottles. Good stuff!
Really it was some good beneficial steps taken towards the environmental supportable programs, and it is important to know deeply about different aspects of recycling bottles to reduce landfill situation, definitely Saint-Gobain Containers adopts some of the best manufacturing process which provides an environmentally friendly feedstock for making new products.
"Consumers are interested in environmentally friendly products, and we strive to be more environmentally responsible as a company every day," says Jeremy Ragonese, director of marketing for Boulevard Brewing.
Jeff Krum, Boulevard's chief financial officer and principal of Ripple Glass, adds: "Boulevard Brewing started Ripple Glass because, despite strong local and regional demand for cullet, there was no meaningful collection or recycling of glass in the Kansas City area."
The collection of these ECO-Series beer bottles are very much impressive in style and designing these revealed are applied by the Saint-Gobain Containers with maintaining the quality and variety, it was really appreciable by the consumers for the cause of eco-friendly nature.
It looks like a better move adopt by the Saint-Gobain Containers while provide a high quality and safest manufacturing process, its designs are quite impressive and far better rather compare to previous including some of the advanced techniques of low weight and eco friendly rather compare to previous designs.
