Belgium stands as a shining example of what's achievable in glass collection and recycling, demonstrating that a 100% glass collection for recycling rate and closing the glass loop completely is indeed within reach.    Thanks to Victor Biettlot for explaining how Fost Plus is at the forefront of these efforts, driving promotion, coordination, and financial support for the selective collection, sorting, and recycling of household packaging waste in Belgium, setting a high standard for sustainability in the whole of Europe.♻️ 🍾 As we can see from our figures, 63% of the inputs of Glass Cullet Recycling Facilities in Belgium come from municipal waste.

We need to change our approach to how we treat the planet. When we throw things "away," there is actually no such place as "away." 🌍♻️ This was the message from Green peer Natalie Bennet during a recent Nature 2030 and Keep Wales Tidy Parliamentary event. Speakers emphasised that a UK Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) is essential to address the waste and pollution crisis. Key Points: 📊 Public Support: 76% of Britons support including glass in the DRS. 💸 Economic Impact: Over £1 billion annually is spent in UK on litter clean-up. 🌿 Environmental Need: Over 2 million pieces of litter are dropped daily in the UK. Baroness Cathy Bakewell, a Liberal Democrat peer, highlighted the importance of getting the DRS in place by 2027, noting the potential for cross-party consensus on recycling. Green peer Baroness Natalie Bennett stated, “We are choking our own health as a result of poor recycling rates and creating a radical circular economy is needed to tackle it. We’re heading in the wrong direction with more plastic being created than there is demand for plastic.” Owen Derbyshire, Chief Executive of Keep Wales Tidy said “I urge the Secretary of State Steve Reed MP, to work with the devolved administrations to implement a DRS with plastic, glass and metal containers included in 2027 – we must get back on track in delivering a circular economy, Labour must deliver an effective deposit return scheme.” Sarah Horner MA, FRSA, Collaborating Partner at Reloop, stressed that for Britain to become a global leader in recycling, it should learn from successful practices in the four nations and positive examples from overseas. Marcel Arsand, Director of Sustainability and Public Affairs at Ball Beverage Packaging Europe, Middle East & Africa, has highlighted that since the last DRS consultation in the UK, countries like Latvia, Slovakia, Hungary, Ireland, and Turkey all launched deposit return systems, and Austria, Poland and Portugal will follow them before the UK implements their scheme in October 2027. 👀 Take a look at how Deposit Return Systems operate around the world in our recent fact sheet 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekSF7zvC #Recycling #DRS #CircularEconomy

Our partnership began in 2016 and this extension will see us through more than a decade of working together until 2027.
