Green Products - Glassware

TGI began acquiring German NNPB glass-blowing technology in 1983 in order to meet the

needs of the market and enhance environmental protection. This technology produces attractive,
lightweight bottles of uniform thickness. More recently, TGI has participated in technological
cooperation with Germany’s Heye-Glass Group, producing more than 200 million bottles per year.
Lightweight bottles are the product of future trends in the glass container market. Besides helping

customers cut production costs, lightweight bottles are environmentally friendly, as their production
consumes less resources and energy.

Advantages of Lightweight Bottle

 Conserves raw materials use. It has the same strength despite a thinner bottle wall.
 Reduces energy consumption.

 Reduces clients’production costs.
 Glass containers are 100% recyclable and will not destroy the earth’s ecological environment.

Example：1 liter liqueur bottle originally weighed 540g. After the implementation of
the NNPB technology, the bottle weighs 480g, 12.5% lighter.
