(PRESS RELEASE) DUESSELDORF/NUREMBERG, 10-Feb-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Gerresheimer will present its latest generation of sustainable glass packaging solutions for organic food, natural cosmetics, and nutraceuticals at BIOFACH 2026 in Nuremberg from February 10 to 13, 2026. The company is positioning itself as a key partner for brands seeking to combine product protection, premium design, and a reduced environmental footprint through innovative glass packaging concepts.

At the trade fair, Gerresheimer will highlight a range of flint and amber glass solutions that incorporate high proportions of post-consumer recycled glass, lightweight designs, and refillable systems. These approaches are intended to help food, beverage, and cosmetics companies lower the carbon footprint of their packaging while maintaining the safety, quality, and visual appeal of their products. Visitors can explore Gerresheimer’s portfolio at Hall 7, Booth 7-152.

Jürgen Grasel, Senior Director Sales Food & Beverage at Gerresheimer Moulded Glass GmbH, emphasized the growing importance of the organic and natural food sector as a driver of sustainable packaging innovation. He noted that glass uniquely embodies value, transparency, and true circularity, and that Gerresheimer aims to support companies in consistently achieving their sustainability objectives.

Gerresheimer’s showcase at BIOFACH underlines how contemporary glass packaging can unite aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility. Glass offers a premium, transparent appearance that enhances brand positioning while providing robust protection against external influences and chemical interactions. Its inert properties are particularly beneficial for preserving the integrity of organic products. In addition, glass can be recycled indefinitely without quality loss and reused multiple times, reinforcing its role in a circular economy.

The company offers a broad range of high-quality flint and amber glass packaging tailored to organic and natural applications. This includes solutions for specialty oils, functional beverages, skincare products, and nutraceuticals. Gerresheimer’s portfolio enables companies to quickly enter the market with standardized packaging options or transition smoothly to more sustainable glass alternatives. Beyond standard offerings, Gerresheimer also provides customized packaging services covering concept development, design, manufacturing, and finishing.

Sustainability remains a central pillar of Gerresheimer’s corporate strategy. The company has committed to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 52 percent by 2030, a target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Key measures to achieve this include increasing the use of cullet in glass production to lower energy consumption, adopting advanced melting technologies, and integrating renewable energy sources into manufacturing processes.

Gerresheimer operates more than 40 production sites across 16 countries in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, serving customers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and cosmetics industries as well as food and beverage markets. Together with Bormioli Pharma, the Group generated revenues of approximately EUR 2.4 billion in 2024 and employs around 13,600 people worldwide.
