The purpose of the association is to increase and maintain the competitiveness of glass in the packing industry by research and development programs, the commercialisation of R+D results as well as individual cooperation between the members of the association.
Two major drivers for IPGR are decreasing the energy consumption during glass-container production and increasing the glass strength. The focus in IPGR research work is especially put on increasing the competitiveness of glass-containers against other materials due to light-weight and stronger containers, increasing the efficiency of manufacturing processes due to the intelligent use and development of innovative materials, and better control of manufacturing processes due to simulation and benchmarking.
On the melting side IPGR is working on improving the energy efficiency of current melting techniques and assessing innovative new melting concepts to enable considerable energy savings.
The IPGR members represent more than 12% of the world wide container glass production capacity.The members are (in alphabetical order):
