Glass packaging respects planet’s natural resources and the …arts.

An exhibition, organized by FEVE, was held during the month of October 2010 in the premises of DG Enterprise of the European Commission(Breydel Building, Brussels). It aimed at reproducing the bottle-to-bottle production system of glass packaging., as glass is 100% and infinitely recyclable. At the end of its life, glass is collected and it can be recycled in the production of new bottles. Glass packaging is non-toxic and does not contain any chemical substances. It protects human health and it preserves products. The exhibition consisted of an artistic reproduction of two glass bottle banks and a piece reproducing the shelves of a supermarket. The stand was completed with four banners with some key messages on glass packaging. It was realized by a Belgian sculptor – Ladislas de Monge (www.demonge.be).
