Au plan commercial, la concurrence des plastiques (PVC, PET) dans l'eau minérale et les soft drinks [sodas] et du fer blanc dans la bière et les boissons gazeuses a conduit les verriers à des prouesses techniques sur l'un des points faibles du verre, son poids. Le verre allégé, obtenu par la technique du pressé-soufflé a perdu quelque 30% de son poids tout en gagnant en qualité et en prix.
