♻️ How can we get people to recycle more glass? While glass collection rates are higher than ever as a European average – 80.2% as of 2022 – reaching our target of 90% collection of glass packaging by 2030 requires targeted measures across the regions with lower collection rates. FEVE – the European Container Glass Federation and Vetropack Group partnered with the local EPR scheme in Koprivnica, Croatia to find out what’s behind lower recycling rates, and what could help. Results of the 2024 pilot project will be used as a blueprint to improve glass collection across Europe. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gKzua2xp

🤝As Brussels gears up for a busy autumn agenda, it was great to catch up with Close The Glass Loop team! Fantastic milestones have been achieved already with the recent news of the 80.2% collection rate reached for glass packaging. Now, we're energised and ready to get back to the business of closing the rest of the loop, to deliver more and better recycled glass for Europe.
It was wonderful to reconnect in person at the CGL networking event with our Close the Glass Loop friends and colleagues. 🍾 The informal gathering, held right after the holiday season, provided a relaxed atmosphere to exchange ideas and strengthen our connections. 🤝 We're already looking forward to more events like this in the future! #ClosetheGlassLoop #CircularEconomy #GlassPackaging #GlassRecycling

❓ What happens when #glass manufacturers collaborate with industry partners to bring a #lightweight wine bottle to supermarket shelves? ✅ A 25% reduction in CO2 emissions, compared to standard wine bottles! Verallia has partnered with Lanchester Wines and Aldi UK to launch wines packaged in Verallia’s Bordelaise Air 300g across Aldi’s UK stores. ⚖ Designed specifically for the wine industry, Verallia’s lightweight bottle is made from 30% recycled glass. Now, all three companies are conserving natural resources and reducing their GHG emissions! #RightWeighting Read: https://lnkd.in/ezqWt6Af

An important step for decarbonising European industry! 💪 🟢 Last month, the European Commission gave the green light to Germany’s €3 billion hydrogen network initiative, which aims to repurpose existing gas pipelines and build new ones to create hydrogen connections across multiple EU countries by 2025. For the #glass packaging industry, our ambition to decarbonise glassmaking will depend on having access to carbon-free energy – and that starts with ensuring Europe has the right infrastructure. 🤝 Support from policymakers will be instrumental in making this happen, which is why it was encouraging to see German ministers visit Ardagh Group’s Obernkirchen plant to get to know their #NextGenFurnace! Learn more about the visit: https://lnkd.in/djH8w5cF Read up on the planned hydrogen network: https://lnkd.in/dAGygUXF
Colleagues at our glass production facility in Obernkirchen, Germany were delighted to welcome Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck and Lower Saxony’s Minister for Economics, Transport, Construction and Digitalisation Olaf Lies. The ministers saw our groundbreaking #NextGenFurnace in action as it produced low-carbon glass packaging with its state-of-the-art hybrid technology. We are delighted to support these ministers in shining a light - at the federal and local level - on the needs of the glass packaging industry. Ardagh supports Germany’s goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2045 and is actively driving forward the #decarbonisation of glass packaging production. #ArdaghGlassPackaging #AGPEurope #sustainablepackaging #sustainableglass #lowcarbonglass
