Last week, the Glass Alliance Europe organised a policy event to explore ways in which the Clean Industrial Deal could better support the decarbonisation and competitiveness of the glass industry. Here are some key highlights:
The European Commission recently presented its proposal for an ambitious 90 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. It initiates discussions on the necessary measures to create an environment conducive to significant CO2 emissions reduction, aligning with Europe’s 2050 climate-neutrality objective.

Glass for Europe has recently published a paper on the reuse, reprocessing and recycling of flat glass. Here you can find out what options are available for recycling flat glass at the end of its life cycle.
In this interview with Bertrand Cazes, Secretary General of Glass for Europe, we asked him what the future holds for the glass industry when it comes to the energy crisis. Here are his answers:
In a recent circular, the German Federal Flat Glass Association points out that the effects of the war in Ukraine will also have an impact on the glass industry if gas and energy prices continue to rise. Here is the statement.
Glass for Europe organised the first in a series of online workshops on the recycling of flat glass. Attendance was substantial, which confirms that the topic is important to the EU flat glass industry.
On 17 September 2020, the European Commission released its plan to reduce EU greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 per cent by 2030 and to put the EU on a path to become climate neutral by 2050.
The flat glass industry also reiterated its support to the EU objective to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Glass for Europe, the trade association of Europe’s flat glass sector, recently released its 2050 vision on flat glass in a climate-neutral Europe, which points to a virtuous cycle of decarbonisation to maximise contributions to the climate challenge.
The recent publication by the European Commission of the communication on The European Green Deal sets a new horizon that Europe’s flat glass sector looks forward to with enthusiasm and cautious optimism.
