Close The Glass Loop

Close The Glass Loop is a European partnership involving the entire glass packaging collection and recycling value with the ambition to collect more glasspackaging and recycle it, for infinite cycles.  

Close The Glass Loops mission is to provide a platform that supports exchange of best practice between all the operators and professionals who are active in glass collection and recycling. All the value chain is involved: glass producers, brands & fillers, glass recycling facilities, organizations, municipalities, as well as the hospitality sector. The vision is to achieve a 90% glass packaging collection for recycling rate in the EU by 2030, so more recycled content can be used in a new production loop. 

Close the Glass Loop remains dedicated in its commitment to year-over-year improvement, as vividly depicted in the visual representation below. This consistent growth is a direct result of the close collaboration with a diverse spectrum of sectors and municipalities. The success is further bolstered by intensive communication campaigns and active engagement with all stakeholders in the glass collection & recycling industry. 

Together, we drive forward the strong partnerships to collectively pursue the objective of Close the Glass Loop. This effort ensures that we not only meet our objectives but also set a benchmark for sustainable glass recycling, creating a lasting impact on the environment and communities.
