German glass-maker Heinz‐Glas and lacquer manufacturer Weilburger have developed an invisible antibacterial coating that makes the glass surface self-cleaning. Thanks to this new technology, dubbed senoglass® Carecoating, glass bottles can be safely picked up on store shelves and at home as the surface fights microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses.
