Gerresheimer’s packaging solutions are produced from glass and plastic. The company is focused on remaining committed to the circular economy and meeting the growing customer demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging solutions.

The new bottle features an indentation in the base and straight edges on the four sides similar to a cube.

The indentation will allow the containers to be stacked easily. The design helps lower carbon dioxide emissions per shipment and saves space.

In a statement, Gerresheimer said: “The bottle has straight edges like a cube, offering four sides to contemplate small petals or seeds through transparent labels suspended inside the gel.”
