Saint-Gobain Containers Launches Second Feature Animation

“Becoming a Glass Super Agent” Reveals the Importance of Recycling Glass

Saint-Gobain Containers, a leading producer of glass containers for the U.S. food and beverage industries, recently launched its second feature animation, “Becoming a Glass Super Agent,” targeted for elementary school-aged children.

In the new animation, Captain Cullet, a robot who crushes glass into cullet, and his sidekick, Little Gob o’ Glass, a drop of hot molten glass, focus on the science of making glass as they give students a tour of a working glass bottle 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 describe the benefits of glass and the need to recycle glass for a greener environment. The videos and downloadable files are free and available online. Check out the videos

“As a leader in glass packaging, Saint-Gobain Containers understands the importance of early education about the benefits of recycling,” says Steve Rhea, Senior Vice President, Strategic Development for Saint-Gobain Containers. “This program provides an opportunity for Saint-Gobain Containers to participate and give back to the communities we serve while helping students to improve their carbon footprint.”

Saint-Gobain Containers’ education program featuring Captain Cullet and the Little Gob O’ Glass offers elementary school teachers and students 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.

“Little Bottle,” the final molded glass container made with the help of Captain Cullet and the Little Gob O’ Glass, was also the event mascot for Recycle Glass Week, September 2-27. Watch the “Little Bottle” PSA
