It all started with glass!

NIPRO is overjoyed that 2022 is being recognized as the “International Year of Glass” by the United Nations. Welcome to the Age of Glass!

Throughout 2022, we will shine the spotlight on GLASS by acknowledging its importance in daily life. From the photo frame holding your precious memories to your crystal champagne glasses, we come into contact with glass at multiple moments every day. Whether we are rolling down the car windows to let air in; or drinking some water at dinner; or, on a more serious note, taking life-saving drugs that are protected in glass vials, we regularly come into contact with this wonder material. 

We particularly appreciate glass as a primary packaging material for pharmaceutical products because of the very nature of the material. Its inertness - meaning that the glass will not react with the contents within the container - is the main reason why sensitive, precious, life-saving drugs are SAFE in glass containers. The drug will cure or protect the patient, while it is the glass that protects the drug

Glass is ubiquitous - to the extent that we’re no longer consciously aware of it. So, let’s take this year to celebrate an essential material - the only material that is infinitely recyclable. Let’s talk glass, and let’s talk how it can help to achieve very important UN Global Goals.

What can you expect?

Every month, we will address one of these Global Goals and how glass can help to achieve them.
Furthermore, when we do so, we will also define how NIPRO will address these same challenges.
