How can a bag be more eco-friendly than a glass jar?

We admit, it does sound surprising, but the simple answer is they’re more efficient to produce, and compared to our jars send 97% less waste to landfill because the lids are not widely recyclable. The Eco Refill packaging requires 81% less energy to make than our glass jars (source: Kraft eco calculator1).

But surely a glass jar is more recyclable?

Can you recycle an Eco Refill pack?

Is Eco Refill endorsed by environmental organisations?
