The glass mascara bottles from HEINZ-GLAS are top quality & stylish

With this eye-catcher, we are really stirring up the mascara market: For this new product line, we have teamed up with GEKA, one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-precision application systems for the cosmetics market specializing in mascara. With our know-how, the perfect coordination of details and some great innovations, we now offer beautifully designed mascara bottles that make the change from plastic to more attractive glass. The options are almost unlimited: glass type, colour, finishing in combination with a choice of brush and closure? Simply put together online with the Virtual Designer, we take care of production including filling. This is also the advantage of the short distances: Everything is made in Germany, most of it even made in Kleintettau! i.e For example, the specially developed wiper by GEKA is manufactured by our sister company HEINZ-PLASTICS. All this with an unbeatable environmental balance: For decades, we have been actively minimizing our CO2 emissions in our region Upper Franconia. Additionally, because mascara as a beauty product is really a matter of trust, we have here an advantage in terms of quality.  Both HEINZ-GLAS and GEKA are GMP-certified which is verging on medical standard! So oops, dear cosmetics industry, here we come!

"NOT A MISTAKE" by HEINZ‐GLAS turns deviations into chances
A premium glass with a crooked bottom inside, visible shape seams, irregular surface or enclosed air bubbles? What seems to be a mistake at first glance is absolutely wanted and becomes pure design! With our "NOT A MISTAKE" series, we turn four deviations from the norm into an aesthetic that is as trendy as it is honest and an opportunity for our customers. For an individual and natural glass optics, the four tolerances can be freely selected according to the modular principle. In our often uniform world, this authentic, unadulterated look guarantees maximum attention. And it testifies to ecological awareness. Glass is made of natural materials and can only be brought into a flawless shape with great effort. The more deviations are tolerated, the more sustainable the manufacturing process and the more natural the appearance – without any compromise in terms of quality. The use of 25% recycled glass and greener energy increases the climate-friendly factor once again. Whether glass jar or bottle, "NOT A MISTAKE" makes all products an honest design eye-catcher. In prototypes we have illustrated the aesthetic effect that the customer can achieve with different combinations of irregularities. Download PDF

We now have made available 3 standard bottles - carbon balanced!

Sensationally low 0.4g CO2 is produced in Kleintettau per gross gram of glass produced, and the trend is decreasing! And we are increasingly compensating for CO2 emissions, which cannot be prevented despite all efforts, with climate protection projects certified according to the gold standard. Now we have made the no-frills noble bottles Shine (15ml + 50 ml) and Enso 100ml (with caps) placed climate neutral with an ocean project: For every balanced ton of CO2, 10kg of plastic is fished out of the sea. This fits perfectly with our environmental policy at HEINZ-GLAS, because we are the top of the class in reducing the CO2 footprint: As a pioneer in the industry, we invested in highly efficient electric melting furnaces, which we operate with hydropower green electricity!

A protective shield makes the glass surface self-cleaning and has benefits for health, environment and design. Thanks to the invisible layer senoglass® Carecoating, there are now bottles that can be safely picked up:  Within an hour, the invisible protective shield destroys 99% of the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli – even more than 99% of coronaviruses after 24 hours. The innovative glass finishing was developed together with lacquer manufacturer WEILBURGER group.

With the new Turn & Click closure system, HEINZ-GLAS Group offers an innovative, especially user-friendly locking system. The bayonet-like system requires only a slight turning movement when opening and closing and additionally protects against overtightening of the thread. A "click" sound when engaging also makes the tight fit of the closure audibly perceptible. The system can be made of glass from HEINZ-GLAS or plastic from HEINZ-PLASTICS. The shape of the container only plays a subordinate role: round, oval as well as angular shapes can be equipped with the Turn & Click closure. For the end customer, containers with this closure are particularly interesting due to the "click" when snapping in place, the minimal twisting movement and the aesthetically pleasing appearance, which invites to "upcycle" the product.
