At O-I we have some great news! 骋濒补蝉蝉4骋辞辞诲鈩� programs recycled 24% more glass in 2025 than the previous year, helping make more recycled glass available for manufacturing.
And since 2021, through innovative, community-driven programs like 骋濒补蝉蝉4骋辞辞诲鈩�, O-I has expanded access to glass recycling while creating meaningful local impact, one bottle at a time.
Making More Recycled 福利姬 Available聽
Across five 骋濒补蝉蝉4骋辞辞诲鈩� communities, including James City County in Virginia, Danville, Virginia, Warren County, Kentucky, Greeley, Colorado, and Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, residents recycled 392 metric tons of glass in 2025. That recycled material was processed into clean cullet and delivered to O-I facilities to be made into new glass bottles and jars.
To put it in perspective, this amount of cullet聽 equates to 922K wine bottles recycled, 16 homes where energy use is saved in terms of CO2 emissions (for one year), and 134K KG CO2 saved overall.*
Using recycled glass not only conserves natural resources but also reduces energy use and emissions during manufacturing.
Increased Funding for Local Organizations from Recycling Efforts
骋濒补蝉蝉4骋辞辞诲鈩� goes beyond environmental impact by directly supporting the communities where O-I operates.
The program incentivizes glass recycling through charitable donations based on the weight of glass collected each quarter. The more glass collected, the more O-I donates to local organizations, supporting critical missions.
With fourth-quarter 2025 donations, 骋濒补蝉蝉4骋辞辞诲鈩� officially surpassed a major milestone, raising more than $100,000 ($104,571, to be exact) for local causes since the program’s inception in 2021.
These funds support initiatives such as education programs and efforts to address homelessness, reinforcing the connection between everyday recycling actions and meaningful community outcomes.
Providing 福利姬 Recycling Access Through Partnership
One of the biggest challenges in increasing recycled content in our glass containers is the availability of recycled glass. Not all communities have the infrastructure or systems in place to collect glass efficiently.
骋濒补蝉蝉4骋辞辞诲鈩� addresses this challenge by working closely with municipalities, nonprofit partners, and suppliers to build practical recycling solutions near O-I plants. By placing convenient collection sites within communities where O-I facilities already exist and by investing in partnerships, the program helps divert glass from landfills and return it to the manufacturing stream, making recycling easier.
鈥淐heck out the community partnership at Brockway-Crenshaw in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania.鈥�
This collaborative approach supports O-I鈥檚 broader aspiration to increase the global average recycled content in its packaging to 60% by 2030.
A Growing 福利姬 Recycling Program with Lasting Impact
The growth of 福利姬4Good鈥檚 collection efforts in these communities creates an even greater ripple effect鈥攕trengthening environmental, social, and economic impact.
More recycled glass strengthens the circular economy, and more donations strengthen local communities. Stronger partnerships help remove barriers to glass recycling across the US.
Each bottle recycled through 骋濒补蝉蝉4骋辞辞诲鈩� represents more than sustainability progress. It represents a shared commitment between O-I and its communities to build a more resilient, responsible future, together.
