Mission statement

We design the Austrian glass recycling system and lead it successfully into the future.

Collecting and recycling glass packaging is a practiced circular economy. The Austrian recycling system for glass packaging has been proven to be one of the most successful in the world. It is our task to maintain and expand this pioneering role - to protect the environment and out of economic and social responsibility.

The use of used glass packaging as a secondary raw material in the glass industry reduces the need for primary raw materials and energy. We want to continue improving the quality of waste glass in the future in order to enable a further increase in the use of waste glass.

We guarantee that 100% of our separately collected glass packaging will be recycled. They come onto the market as new glass packaging. However, glass containers that currently end up in the residual waste ultimately end up in landfills. We want to further reduce the number of glass packaging in the residual waste.

Collecting and recycling used glass packaging separately has a higher ecological value for society and is much more economical than disposing of it.

We want to design the collection system and transport logistics in the best possible way in order to increase the advantages of glass recycling and are open to new recycling technologies.

Recycling of glass packaging makes economic, social and ecological sense. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our corporate performance in terms of our sustainability management system as well as an environmentally-oriented, sustainable economic approach.
