Glass ≠ Microplastic‑Free.
The data speaks for itself.
A recent French study by ANSES (France’s food safety agency), published in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, found that glass‑bottled beverages contain significantly more microplastics than their plastic‑packaged equivalents.
📌 Key findings:
• ~100 microplastic particles/L on average in glass bottles of soda, iced tea, lemonade, and b**r — 5× to 50× more than plastic bottles or cans .
• B**r averaged 60 p/L, lemonade ~40 p/L, soft drinks ~30 p/L .
• Water in glass: 4.5 p/L, vs plastic: 1.6 p/L .
✔️ Why this matters for us at Authentic Packaging Pvt Ltd. :
• Our food‑grade PET bottles are fully enclosed and capped in controlled environments—no contact with painted liners.
• We operate in clean‑room settings, minimizing airborne or cap‑related contamination.
• By choosing light, recyclable PET, you’re not just reducing microplastics—you’re also cutting CO₂ emissions and embracing circularity with rPET.
Let’s shift the narrative from materials assumptions to science‑based packaging. PET isn’t just practical—it’s safe, controlled, and sustainable.
