Somang Glass has established a new benchmark for sustainability in the glass industry, becoming Korea’s first company to receive Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification. This recognition affirms the company’s ability to produce glass packaging made with up to 60% post-consumer recycled (PCR) glass.
By integrating significant amounts of PCR glass into its manufacturing process, the company ensures that eco-friendly production does not come at the expense of quality or design. Its advanced electric furnace operations provide the consistency and efficiency needed to meet the scale and standards of international beauty and fragrance brands.
The Global Recycled Standard is widely regarded as one of the most stringent and respected certifications in sustainable manufacturing. It not only verifies the percentage of recycled materials used but also enforces strict environmental, social, and chemical management criteria throughout the supply chain. For brands, collaborating with a GRS-certified supplier means choosing packaging solutions that are transparent, verifiable, and aligned with global sustainability expectations.
