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? 1 Sources for Kraft Eco-Calculator: Plastics Europe 2005; U.S. Department of Energy 2002; Environmental Defence Fund 2002; International Aluminium Institute 2003; European Aluminium Association 2000. |
