💪 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!
Stefano Cassano, the Corporate Director of Production Materials Purchasing at @verallianews, shared insights into the cullet integration process at Verallia in the latest #90MinutesCGL episode. 🥂
Can we avoid losses from collection to recycling? 👉 https://t.co/Jv7zkjR7w2 📺
#PPWR should protect product identity, promote brand recognition, and preserve the value of traditional high-quality EU products.
If we fail, packaging diversity will be lost!
📰 News: The @EUCouncil’s #PPWR approach hasn't recognised circular packaging’s contribution to EU competitiveness & sustainable growth.
We are concerned that #PackagingDesign is still under threat & key issues like fair waste reduction targets aren't resolved.
Full statement:
When voting on #PPWR, MEPs have the chance to safeguard iconic packaging designs.
The EP should take action to:
👉 Protect product identity
👉 Promote brand recognition
👉 Preserve the value of traditional high-quality EU products
If we fail, packaging diversity will be lost.
What does the future hold for permanent materials like #glass?
Next week, we’ll join @metal_packaging at Sustainable Packaging Summit to explain why @EP_Environment’s ambitious #PPWR recyclability performance grades are a step forward for the EU circular economy.
Here’s why:
New #EU#packaging rules for #spirits bottles need to reflect & protect product-specific needs. #PPWR needs to strike a balance & protect a marketplace that remains "united in diversity" rather than marked by "monotony by standardization" says Ulrich Adam https://t.co/b0XS9rEW12
#Circularity is also about how easily certain materials can be repurposed and given a new life 🔁
The #DesignforRecycling criteria must focus not only on the ability of the packaging material to be recycled but also on its ability to withstand multiple recycling loops without losing its intrinsic properties.
This will ensure the impacts of the packaging during its entire lifecycle are taken into consideration 💡

♻️ Safe, circular, sustainable. From recyclability, to food preservation, to preventing chemical migration, there's a whole range of factors that add up to everyday packaging that's fit for the future.

Vanessa Chesnot, @FeveEU captivated the audience with ambition and perspective for #ClosetheGlassLoop and shared exciting updates:
🔸 New EU glass collection for packaging recycling rates for 2021 - 80.1%!
🔸 Unveiling of the newly redesigned Close The Glass Loop website!
🎙️Jean Hornain, @CITEO
💬"We need to set harmonized targets and cooperation of all partners in achieving these collection and recycling targets."
Let your voice be heard! Join the conversation and share your thoughts using #PavingTheWayTo90.
📰 Big news! @ArdaghGlass have begun construction on a furnace to run on 80% #renewable energy, reducing emissions by 60%.
🔥 A key milestone for the industry’s goal of decarbonising #glass production as part of our Furnaces for the Future vision. #CarbonNeutralEU
Unique #packaging design: it shapes brands, helps products stand out on busy shelves, and often evokes cultural identity.
As EU policymakers debate the revised #PPWR, it's critical they recognise product presentation as a part of packaging performance.
Our position ⬇
#AGRI
Today, on day one of the #PWSForum, FEVE’s Vanessa Chesnot shares our perspective on the @EU_Commission’s #PPWR. While we support the proposal’s ambition, we recommend modifications to the waste reduction targets to make them material specific.

🏃⚽👨🎓🥂 Viens faire un tour de stade et découvrir les métiers de l’industrie du verre avec Arc, OPCO 2i et les Fédérations de l'Industrie du Verre et du Cristal !

♻ Did you know that 8 in 10 glass bottles in Europe are collected for recycling?
Endlessly recyclable in a closed bottle-to-bottle loop, glass packaging never needs to become waste.
We say it’s time to level up #PPWR ambitions by incentivising closed-loop recycling:
Le 18 mars, c’est la #JournéeMondialeDuRecyclage ! ♻️
Les #brasseurs utilisent des #emballages recyclables à l’infini, comme les bouteilles en verre ou les canettes.
En 2022, 88% des bouteilles en verre sont recyclées soit plus de 2,2 millions de tonnes de verre collectées !
In public transport, #glass is not only for the driver‘s #comfort, visibility and #safety. These same properties apply for side #windows, which are typically of a large size to enhance the passengers’ experience.
Look out for more!
