Glass vs Plastic Packaging

We have recently introduced cold-pressed sunflower oils from two organic growers and we also have hempseed, linseed and pumpkinseed oils available in our range. They are all packaged in dark glass jars. We would like to highlight the importance of glass packaging materials as opposed to harmful plastics:

glass waste is much less damaging to the environment than plastic, which ends up becoming microplastic waste
glass is much less reactive than plastic, as it is inert, whereas plastic is gradually dissolved by oils
A 2023 study by researchers at the University of Notre Dame found that plastic bottles made with fluorinated high-density polyethylene containers, or HDPE, can impart certain chemicals into your oil. That rate increases significantly if the bottle is exposed to heat.
Microplastics can be harmful because they often contain toxic chemicals that can disrupt human hormones and are linked to serious health issues such as infertility, metabolic disorders, and cancer.
glass can be easily reused or recycled
