🌍 The European Glass Container Industry is paving the way to net zero glass production by 2050. But what does that actually look like? And how can we work together to make this happen? On October 23, Tim Sykes from Packaging Europe will speak with Romain BARRAL from Verallia, Sonya Pump from O-I, Patrick Kraft from Gerresheimer, and Fabrice Rivet from FEVE – the European Container Glass Federation to dive into the industry's challenges and opportunities. Join us to discover more about: 1️⃣The multiple pathways to the use of low-carbon energy sources. 2️⃣Innovative projects to leverage glass' circularity and rethink designs.  3️⃣How both policymakers and brands can support these solutions to make them commercially viable. 📅 Register now to hear more on the future of glass packaging

♻️Embrace the circular economy with glass, a material that can be recycled infinitely without losing quality. With businesses under pressure to adopt eco-friendly practices, glass remains the packaging material of choice, combining sustainability with consumer trust and brand identity, as illustrated in the new issue from FoodBev Media. 🌱 “With sustainability becoming a crucial priority for both consumers and businesses, glass packaging remains a strong choice in the food and beverage industry,” wrote Rafaela S. following a conversation with O-I's Marie-Laure Susset, and Michael Delle Selve and Vanessa Chesnot from FEVE – the European Container Glass Federation. 🌎Read the full interview to discover more on how innovative companies are creating lighter, stronger bottles that align with consumers growing demand for sustainability and the advantages of glass packaging and in supporting our circular economy goals: https://lnkd.in/eydYhsTZ #GlassPackaging #ChooseGlass #Innovation

🗣️“The transition to decarbonised glass will only be successful if it is a shared effort,” says Michael Delle Selve from FEVE – the European Container Glass Federation in a recent interview with Packaging Insights delving into a new report on the industry’s path to decarbonise glass production.   To achieve the EU climate goals while positioning glass as a top choice for consumers, we need cross-industry collaborations and tangible actions. Michael Delle Selve outlined how everyone can play their part in this transition:   ⚡The industry continues to innovate and invest in cleaner technologies and use of low-carbon energy sources. 🤝Brands and retailers are called upon to enter strategic partnerships and promote the importance of recycling for achieving our circular economy goals. 💰 And governments must provide a supportive regulatory framework that can help accelerate progress.   Read the full article to learn more on how we can work together to accelerate a sustainable future for glass packaging ⬇️   https://lnkd.in/eC9-x6sr   #NetZero #glasspackaging #decarbonisation

This year marks 50 years of glass recycling in France! Since 1974, glass packaging has been collected, sorted, and recycled, with France now boasting an impressive 81.2% recycling rate. ♻️💚 To celebrate this milestone, Citeo is hosting a special event during the Salon des Maires: "50 ans de Collecte et Recyclage des Emballages en Verre: Bilan et Perspectives." With experts discussing topics such as glass decarbonisation, recycling, and reuse, it’s a moment to reflect on how recycling brings the industry closer to net zero. But if we want to reach net zero, we need even better collection infrastructure and further encourage consumers to properly recycle containers after use. That’s why Close The Glass Loop is bringing together stakeholders from across the value chain to improve collection and recycling rates across Europe. 🔗 Find out more about what you can do to accelerate the road to net zero in our latest industry report: https://lnkd.in/eP5dmmnF #GlassRecycling #Decarbonisation #ChooseGlass #CircularEconomy #CloseTheGlassLoop

🌍The European container glass industry is on an ambitious path to net-zero glass production, investing over €600 million a year in breakthrough technologies that reduce carbon intensity across the glass lifecycle. Our new report "One destination, multiple pathways” demonstrates the glass industry’s journey to decarbonise glassmaking and highlights over 90 industry case studies across four key areas: 1️⃣ Europe's Furnaces of the Future. 2️⃣ Leveraging the circularity of glass. 3️⃣ Rethinking design and alternative materials. 4️⃣ Changing how glass is moved. 📢 Now the industry calls on public authorities and stakeholders for support in keeping it as an essential economic powerhouse of the EU Circular Economy and to make glass packaging fit for Europe's future.
