The production story of Aware Collection

To produce the Paşabahçe Aware Collection, Şişecam separates used glass products according to their properties and sizes for recycling. Glasses of different sizes, which are also separated according to their colors, are broken and classified according to the size ranges defined for each quality. Glasses are cleared of metals using magnetic separators and made ready for use. The glasses, separated from their metals, are on their way to the production facility, ready to be used as raw materials. The furnace is fed until it is filled with recycled glass melt. After the molten glass is sent to the blowing and pressing lines, it is subjected to cooling, shaping and quality control processes, as with every Paşabahçe product, and 100% recycled glass is placed in 100% recycled packaging. With the Aware Collection, Paşabahçe creates a collection that befits its quality with its color, clarity and transparency when compared to other recycled glass products on the market.

Paşabahçe launched the Aware Collection with the vision of leaving a better world to future generations, in line with the Care For Next sustainability approach of Şişecam, to which it is affiliated. Şişecam, which implemented the "Glass Again" project, one of Turkey's most comprehensive sustainability and social responsibility projects, in 2011, has recycled and given life to more than 1.7 million tons of glass waste through the project. 2.5 percent energy savings can be achieved by using 10 percent glass cullet in the production of glass, which is 100 percent recyclable infinite times without loss of quality and is the most sustainable packaging material with this feature. Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough electricity to run a computer for 25 minutes and a television for 20 minutes.
