10 Nov 2021 --- Three major glass industry players are set to begin virtual trials on a coating technology they say could enable lightweighting while retaining 100% strength and shape in glass bottles. Dassault Systèmes, Ardagh Group and Exxergy will join forces in January 2022 to investigate the technology’s applicability on Diageo’s Johnnie Walker bottle. If successful, they claim it could prove pivotal in reducing glass production’s environmental footprint.
