Sustainability
Established in 1825in the north of France, Arc 1825 is the world leader in tableware production. For nearly two centuries, the Group’s history has been forged through countless innovations, with the same values, whatever the era: to offer products that are more beautiful, practical, resistant, versatile, healthier and always more accessible over the years.
Beautiful, practical, resistant, versatile, healthier and always more accessible products
Every day, Arc 1825 produces more than 4 million items, half of which are made and sold in Europe.
The circular economy
All the articles produced by the Arc 1825 are made of glass. Infinitely recyclable, insulating, non-flammable and resistant, glass is by definition a sustainable material. Arc 1825 has long been aware of the challenges linked to the environment and has been committed for several years to an approach that favours the circular economy, for example by striving to preserve natural resources, or to integrate sustainability criteria into the design of its products and offers.
Glass, a responsible and sustainable material
For centuries, glass has been recognised for its remarkable properties, particularly in the health and food sectors.
Made locally
Even today, 50% of our worldwide turnover comes from production from our historic French site, and 75% of this production is sold in Europe.
At the end of 2019, 200 collections manufactured on the Arques site received “Guaranteed French Origin” certification for all of the Group’s brands.
100% of our US production is sold domestically and our factory in Nanjing also mainly serves the Chinese market.
Storage boxes and glass jars
Convinced that glass is the future of plastic, we have created collections to replace single-use plastic containers.
Practical, light and ergonomic, the Easy Box Luminarc® glass storage boxes go directly from the refrigerator or freezer to the microwave. This range has been awarded the German Design Award 2020.
With Luminarc® Pure Jar or Storing Box, no more disposable packaging! Hermetic, easy to wash and store, they were designed for the purchase and storage of bulk products.
Arcoroc’s So Urban boxes are designed for professional take-away caterers.
