At Arcoroc, we are convinced that it is possible to consume more responsibly and sustainably, without sacrificing quality and taste pleasure. That’s why we’ve developed the So Urban range, an alternative to disposable tableware, made up of sustainable, reusable and returnable glass containers. In this article, we present the many advantages of glass, the ideal material for more responsible consumption. We’ll also tell you about the success stories of our customers in the catering industry, who have adopted our glass containers to meet the needs of their nomadic, environmentally-conscious clientele. I. The Advantages of Glass A healthy, non-porous material Glass is a healthy, non-porous material that contains no substances harmful to health, such as bisphenol A or phthalates. It does not release particles into food and drink, making it a healthy and safe material to consume. What’s more, glass is non-porous, which means it doesn’t retain odours, flavours or bacteria. Enhancing transparency Glass is a transparent material that enhances the composition of recipes. It allows consumers to see what they are eating and better appreciate the colours and textures of the food. Unbeatable durability Glass is a durable material that can be reused many times. It resists scratches, stains and odours, and can be easily cleaned and dried. It also withstands numerous machine washing cycles, making it an economical and environmentally friendly choice for catering professionals. An Infinitely Recyclable Material Glass is an infinitely recyclable material, with no loss of quality. It can be melted down and reformed indefinitely, making it an ecological choice for responsible consumption. II.
