Saint-Gobain Containers, a leading producer of glass containers for the food and beverage industries in the United States, recently launched its second feature animation targeted for elementary school-aged children illustrating the importance of recycling glass containers.

In the new animation, “Becoming a Glass Super Agent,” the duo focuses on the science of making glass as they give students a tour of a working glass factory. In “The Original Adventure,” Captain Cullet and Little Gob detail the history of glass and educate on the importance of choosing a healthy and safe package for food and beverages. Both animations cover the benefits of glass and the critical need to recycle glass for a greener environment.
The videos and downloadable files are free and available online at www.sgcontainers.com.
Saint-Gobain Containers’ education program featuring Captain Cullet and the Little Gob O’ Glass offers elementary schools, teachers and students alike a well-rounded program that now includes two quick online animated videos; an activity book with age-appropriate games, mazes and puzzles; and coloring sheets featuring the two animated characters Captain Cullet and the Little Gob O’ Glass.
