For instance, in July 2024, Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America, a US-based product packaging company, unveiled a new series of 12oz craft beverage glass bottles in the US. These bottles are offered in three colors: emerald green, flint, and amber, and are domestically designed and produced from 100% recyclable glass.
