THE IMPORTANCE OF GLASS PACKAGING

Glass is a natural product that remains unchanged, so it is considered the healthiest packaging material. Since it is inert, it does not react to foreign substances and does not absorb them. Due to its molecular structure, it is practically impermeable to oxygen. This is very important for products that are sensitive to oxygen, like olive oil. Thus, components such as flavor and vitamins are retained for a long time without the need of a chemical additive. Glass is 100% pure; is created by three raw materials found in abundance in nature: sand, sodium carbonate and marble dust. It contains no toxic chemicals, so it is harmless to people and the environment. The Kopos® bottle is made entirely of glass, painted in the corporate dark green colour, in order to be impermeable to sunlight.
