PROFEL

"Glass containers are a key material, helping us with what we do best: preserving nature’s fruit and vegetables, giving them a long shelf life while preserving their nutrient qualities. Against the background of EU initiatives such as the Green Deal and Farm to Fork Strategy, improving recycling rates will play a key role in contributing towards carbon neutrality goals."
