♻ The numbers are in! The 2022 glass collection for recycling figure is 80.2%!

This marks a positive trend and steady collection, especially as more glass - 12.4 million tonnes - was collected than ever before.

🥂 Here’s to achieving 90% by 2030!

🚨 70 EU associations—including spiritsEUROPE—call on the @EU_Commission to rethink the JRC's proposed waste sorting instructions for packaging.

⚠️Text & colour-based instructions risk fragmenting the #SingleMarket, confusing consumers, and burdening businesses.

♻️We need a harmonised, pictogram-based system—clear, cross-border, and circularity-driven.

🇪🇺 Let’s prioritise consistency that works for people, planet, and the EU economy.

@WBHoekstra @GlassForEurope @EUClimateAction We thank you for the open exchange and the fruitful opportunity to highlight the efforts our members are making to reduce carbon emissions and discuss how glass packaging can support the transition towards a cleaner and more competitive circular EU. https://t.co/xrQfOG0kG4

[Wopke Hoekstra @WBHoekstra]

Important to have a discussion with representatives of the glass industry. This is a very important sector, which is facing challenges due to overcapacity and unfair competition.

We discussed the Clean Industrial Deal and the opportunities stemming from it.

💪 For the #glass packaging industry, our ambition to decarbonise will depend on having access to carbon-free #energy.

Policymaker support is key to making this happen, which is why it was encouraging to see German ministers visit Ardagh to get to know their #NextGenFurnace!

[Ardagh Group @ArdaghGroup]

Colleagues at our glass production facility in Obernkirchen, Germany were delighted to welcome federal and local ministers to see our groundbreaking #NextGenFurnace produce #lowcarbonglass packaging.
