At O-I, our vision is to be the most innovative, sustainable, and chosen supplier of brand-building packaging solutions. While we believe glass packaging is already the most sustainable packaging solution, sustainability at O-I is about more than what we make. It is also about how we make it.
It is about the interconnected ecosystem that involves our suppliers, our customers, our people, and the communities where we operate. It is about achieving the balance between our operations and the products we make with the current and future needs of our communities, the planet, and our collective prosperity.
At O-I, the journey to this balance—sustainability—is grounded in resilience, innovation, and the ever-present challenge to transform what we do.

Between now and 2030, our strategy to attain that goal involves four key levers.
Collaborating with suppliers to improve cullet quality and increase its usability in furnaces
Investment in cullet processing plants, such as Glass to Glass Denver and Portland in the U.S., O-I PROMAPI in Mexico, and Julia Vitrum in Italy
Exploring opportunities to recycle end-of-life glass products
Investing in plant infrastructure to secure reliable cullet quality and supply, enabling higher recycled content
In 2022, more than 100,000 tons of glass collected through 53 closed-loop programs
