Hrastnik1860 creates sustainable premium glass bottles
Vaider Group’s Hrastnik1860 produces premium glass bottles using innovative sustainable technology.
The brand accomplished a significant milestone in December 2023 when it completed its first industrial production run using hydrogen technology. The project, which was carried out in partnership with a select group of clients, was described as ‘a turning point’ in Hrastnik1860’s dedication to sustainability and innovation in the glass industry.
In addition, the company has incorporated more than 60% hydrogen into its glass production and reduced direct CO2 emissions by more than 30%. It says this approach allows the firm to ‘maintain high-quality standards while significantly decreasing our carbon footprint’.
Hrastnik1860 has also created a ‘revolutionary’ hybrid end-fired regenerative furnace, which has an electrical melting share of more than 40%.
The brand has experienced a 20% drop in direct greenhouse gas emissions and a 30% drop in CO2 emissions as a result of its recent sustainability efforts.
It hopes to expand its hydrogen and electricity-powered production to a wider spectrum of customers this year.
Hrastnik1860 will also be celebrating Sustainable Week Production in December and encourages businesses to join the brand and receive a carbon-neutral bottle.
