Glass for Europe has welcomed the adoption by the European Parliament's ENVI Committee of its proposals to improve the circular economy package. Glass for Europe considers that the reports rightly address longstanding bottlenecks in the recycling of building glass. According to the organisation, the vast majority of end-of-life building glass, used in windows and facades, is not properly sorted at source in Europe, which renders its recycling in new glass products difficult. To increase the recycling rates of its products and manufacturing sustainability, Glass for Europe commissioned a study by Deloitte Sustainability on the present situation in the management and recycling of end-of-life building glass in Europe. The organisation welcomes suggestions endorsed by the EP's ENVI committee, where they address the identified bottlenecks and create conditions for new recycling initiatives to emerge.
