The GPI reports an upsurge in industry production to meet the growing demand for glass baby bottles after Health Canada recently declared bisphenol A, a chemical found in thousands of everyday products such as baby bottles & hard plastic food/beverage containers, "toxic." Members of the US Congress & some state legislatures have begun hearings on bills to ban BPA from products intended for children. O-I has resumed production of glass baby bottles after 20 years in Charlotte, MI. K Stevens, VP of sales/marketing said: "Though our glass nurser is not yet on the market, we've already received positive reactions to the bottle from several large customers & retail outlets." Not only is glass impermeable & non-porous, it is 100% recyclable, cradle-to-cradle packaging, meaning it can be recycled infinitely into new glass containers, equally as good as the original.
