FAQ Material Changeover
Due to a new EU regulation for food contact materials, SUPERGLAS will be manufactured in the EU using a new material in the future. From June 2026, we will be switching to Tritan Renew – a modern, high-performance plastic with recycled content that offers the same performance and appearance. For you, hardly anything will change – except that the material will become even more sustainable.
What does the change mean in concrete terms?
The revised regulation defines new limit values and testing methods for materials that come into contact with food. As a result, the material used previously may no longer be placed on the market.
Important deadlines:
- No new placing on the market from 20 July 2026
- No sale of existing stocks already on the market from January 20, 2029
SUPERGLAS products that have already been purchased can be used indefinitely.
What material is SUPERGLAS currently made of?
SUPERGLAS has been manufactured from polycarbonate (PC) since its inception. SUPERGLAS's unique feature is an additional material treatment that makes the glass particularly robust, durable, and high-quality.
Are existing SUPERGLAS products EU-compliant?
Yes, all SUPERGLASSES produced to date – including those manufactured up to July 19, 2026 – are fully compliant with EU regulations . They can therefore continue to be used without restriction, theoretically until the end of their lifespan.
What is Tritan Renew?
Tritan Renew is a new generation of transparent, high-performance plastics with compelling properties:
- crystal clear
- very robust and shatterproof
- BPA and bisphenol free
- same performance as before
Additionally, the material contains 25% certified post-consumer recycled content , which conserves resources and reduces the CO₂ footprint.
What is koziol doing now?
SUPERGLAS will remain available in the existing material for markets outside the EU.
In the EU, we will introduce SUPERGLAS made from Tritan Renew from June 1, 2026 .
SUPERGLAS made from Tritan Renew will be delivered from the end of July 2026 .
What does that mean if I want to buy new glasses?
Nothing is changing at the moment. The existing SUPERGLAS collection can still be ordered and will remain permanently compliant with EU regulations. From June 1, 2026, you will also have the option of switching to SUPERGLAS made from Tritan Renew.
Our recommendation: If you are planning for the upcoming season, it makes sense to secure SUPERGLAS now at the current price.
How does the price change?
SUPERGLAS made from Tritan Renew will cost approximately €1 more per glass. This is due to significantly higher raw material prices.
Does the new SUPERGLAS look different?
No, guests will not notice any difference. The following features also remain the same:
- Dishwasher safe
- surface
- high weight
- transparency
Both materials can easily be used in parallel.
What does this mean for my current glass inventory?
Your existing SUPERGLAS can continue to be used indefinitely.
I use SUPERGLAS outside the EU - what applies to me?
If your country of assignment is not subject to EU regulations, you still have the choice:
- SUPERGLAS in the previous material
- SUPERGLAS made of Tritan Renew
Both versions are offered simultaneously. Please note that SUPERGLAS made from Tritan Renew will be more expensive.
Are there any new colors?
Yes, starting June 1, 2026, SUPERGLAS will also be available in the new color luxury light grey. All existing colors will remain available.
Even more colors will be added for France. In addition to Luxury Light Grey, the range will also be available in crystal clear, transparent anthracite, as well as in our very successful trend colors transparent jade, transparent rose quartz, and transparent aquamarine.

FAQ products
Can SUPERGLAS go in the dishwasher?
Yes, SUPERGLAS is perfectly suited for use in industrial dishwashers – tests with Winterhalter and Ecolab have shown that the glasses still look like new even after 2,000 wash cycles. After washing, it is best to let the glasses air dry. If you wish to dry them manually, please use a soft microfiber cloth.

Is SUPERGLAS also suitable for hot drinks?
Why doesn't SUPERGLAS become milky?
SUPERGLAS does not become cloudy because it is made from a particularly high-quality, highly transparent material that is unaffected by heat or cleaning agents. This ensures that the surface remains permanently clear and brilliant – even after numerous wash cycles in an industrial dishwasher.
Why can't SUPERGLAS scratch?
Thanks to its high-quality faceted design, SUPERGLAS is particularly scratch-resistant: When it comes into contact with the floor or other surfaces, only the raised edges make contact - so the glass surface remains permanently free of scratches.
How can I print my logo on the glasses?
Depending on the type of glass, you can have your logo printed on the glass surface using pad printing (minimum order of 250 pieces) or luxury printing (minimum order of 100 pieces). Our team will be happy to inform you about your options.
What colors does SUPERGLAS offer?
SUPERGLAS can be produced in any color - entirely according to your wishes. Our 6 standard colors can be produced starting at 500 pieces, and your individual desired color starting at 1,000 pieces. Opaque colors are also possible.
Is SUPERGLAS stackable?
Yes, there are designs that can be stacked on top of and inside each other. You can find more information about the stackability of different glass types on the product detail pages.
How sustainable is SUPERGLAS?
SUPERGLAS is highly sustainable thanks to its unbreakable material. The reusable designs look like new even after 2,000 washes. All glasses are produced and customized at our company headquarters in Germany. Thanks to our in-house production, we can also take back discarded glasses and transform them into a new design product – our CLUB BUCKET.
