The O-I Glass 2023 Sustainability Report illustrates continued advancement toward its ambitious sustainability goals. The report charts significant progress in the building of strong glass recycling ecosystems around the communities where the company operates. It has made targeted investments to establish scalable glass recycling solutions while improving the environmental impact of glass packaging and promoting circularity.

By the end of 2022, about 25 collection sites were established through Glass4Good programmes, generating nearly $20,000 in donations to the United Way. O-I has created more than 50 closed-loop glass recycling programmes with global customers that have retained more than 100,000 tons of glass in the circular economy. The company has achieved access to glass recycling in 96% of the communities where it operates, inching closer to its goal of 100%.

“Sustainability requires collaboration and a shared vision across the value chain,” said Randy Burns, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Affairs Officer for O-I. “While we believe glass packaging is already the most sustainable choice, sustainability is about more than what we make. It is about how we make it.”

“O-I continues to innovate and transform the glass packaging industry for a more sustainable future,” said Andres Lopez, CEO of O-I. “Our success in leading sustainable advancement for the industry has been the result of reimagining and reinventing the model for glass packaging while building a strong, resilient organization designed for the future.”
