In a recent survey over 70% of UK consumers stated that they would like to see more glass packaging available due to its recyclable qualities and it being the healthiest way to package food and drink, with 80% stating that they trust glass to protect their produce against chemicals. The campaign, which is supported by TV presenter Julia Bradbury, sees both consumers and industry trade bodies encouraging consumers to pledge their support too. During November, the campaign sponsored the first ever WI Jam Festival and exhibited at the BBC Good Food Show. Beatson Clark, along with a customer, The Jam Jar Shop, held a competition at both events to win 365 jam jars - one for each day of the year!
