SMCG has innovatively increased the recycling rate of cosmetic glass containers and it acquired the world's first international certification for PCR glass containers made with 60% recycled waste glass. Approaching the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification—an international standard for recycled materials—SMCG strategies to position itself as a leading company in sustainable glass technology. In the glass packaging sector, this was the world's first international certification utilizing 60% PCR recycling technology. The 60% PCR glass container is an innovative technology that dramatically reduces carbon emissions while maintaining quality and transparency. Generally, the PCR content in glass containers remains around 20% to 30%, but SMCG has overcome this limitation based on 15 years of accumulated manual glass factory experience and proprietary electric furnace technology.
