Three quarters of households find glass the best packaging choice

According to a survey of 6,200 European households released today (20 April 2009) three quarters of European consumers say glass is their preferred packaging material for food and beverages.

The large scale survey carried out across 12 European countries by FEVE - the European Container Glass Federation – is believed to be one of the most comprehensive ever conducted within the packaging industry.

In response to the survey’s findings, the container glass industry introduces the Friends of Glass movement – an active social network that unites people who believe that glass is the clear choice for themselves, their families and for the environment.
 
An animated online platform supports the movement covering health and well being, recycling and environmental issues, glass art and design and a time travelogue of 5000 years of glass history. 

Activities and information actions are planned throughout 2009 leading up to the first ever Choose Glass Week in the autumn.

Friends of Glass is a movement that unites people who believe that glass is the clear choice for themselves, their families and for the environment. Friends of Glass was started by FEVE.
