Ardagh Glass Packaging vice president for beer and beverage Rashmi Markan commented: “We enjoy collaborating with brands such as Splendor Water to launch products in 100% recyclable glass packaging.”

Ardagh Group operates 65 metal and glass production facilities in 16 countries, employing more than 21,000 people.
