01 Sep 2022 --- Zero Waste Europe (ZWE) has released a report on how the packaging industry can improve circularity for single-use glass. Despite being infinitely recyclable, glass’ heavy environmental footprint is rarely offset by effective national infrastructure. To identify shortcomings and solutions, ZWE studied glass packaging in France, the UK, US and Germany. Key limitations to circularity were identified in each country, and options for improving glass circularity were explored. The study also reviews other limitations and opportunities the single-use container glass industry is facing and future developments being considered to overcome these challenges.
