The Glass Packaging Forum is one of The Packaging Forum’s
three accredited product stewardship schemes.
The scheme’s purpose is to connect businesses that sell glass-packaged consumer goods with those that collect and recycle glass. This enables glass bottles and jars to be returned to the furnace or made into alternative products, with the aim of zero container glass to landfill.
Established in 2006, Glass Packaging Forum (GPF) also promotes the environmental benefits of glass packaging and manages the accredited GPF Product Stewardship Scheme. There are more than 100 member companies who pay levies to the Forum directly related to the volume of glass they put into the New Zealand market place.

Glass recovery is influenced by a large number of factors so the GPF works hard to build strong relationships with local and central government, waste management companies, recyclers and other community groups to promote and facilitate best practice for the recovery of container glass.
If you manufacture or sell food or beverages in glass or are involved in the collection of glass bottles and jars, we’d love to talk to you.

GPF provides financial assistance, in the form of grants, for projects that improve outcomes for container glass – from infrastructure and plant, to events and research.
If you have a project that will improve the quality and quantity of glass bottles and jars available for recycling, we’d love to help.
