The Europe recycled glass market is predicted to register a CAGR of 5.01% in terms of revenue and 3.90% in terms of volume during the forecast period, 2022-2030, and is set to reach $2369.99 million by 2030.

The recycled glass market growth in Europe is driven by the rising environmental awareness and the constant efforts from governments and the European Commission to enhance glass recycling collection schemes. Also, the increasing use of systems like Deposit Return Schemes (DRS) for glass and other reusable packaging, wherein a small premium is paid for packaging that is refunded upon returning the product, offers growth opportunities.

The Europe recycled glass market growth assessment includes the analysis of Poland, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Rest of Europe. In the United Kingdom, consumers go through an estimated 14 billion plastic drink bottles, five billion glass bottles, and nine billion cans. The region collects approximately 76% of glass packaging for recycling into new jars and bottles. Also, as per evaluations, on average, a green wine bottle has 68% recycled material since every ton of glass re-melted saves 246 kg of carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, the government has set a glass re-melt target to ensure high-value ‘bottle to bottle’ recycling.

Besides, Wales has the second-highest recycling rate in Europe in comparison to England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and third globally, collecting 87% of glass for recycling without a DRS. It is the only country in the UK to have surpassed the EU’s target to recycle at least 50% of household waste by 2020. This is accredited to the Welsh collection system that entails resource recovery vehicles that collect varied waste streams from the curbside during a single collection. Furthermore, Scotland is set to introduce an all-in-DRS that includes glass, which will be introduced on 1st July, 2022.

In Spain, almost 43.3% of waste is reused or recycled, according to industry sources. Particularly, 11.5% is used for composting, 18.3% is recycled, and 13.5% is used for generating energy. At present, Spain is below the European Union average, with an average of 52% being reused or recycled. Also, companies are obligated to package products while considering the environmental effect of their waste under the Spanish Packaging and Packaging Waste Act 11/1997.

Moreover, all products in glass bottles sold through e-commerce must join separate recycling schemes complying with Spain’s packaging law. Further, recycled glass packaging is mandatory in all EU Member States. They aim to make rational use of resources and protect the environment.

The Europe recycled glass market segmentation includes application and product. The application category includes bottles & containers, highway beads, fiber glass, flat glass, and other applications.

Flat glass is shaped by melting a mixture of raw materials that include soda ash, limestone, and sand. Recycled flat glass is added to the mix and re-melted to produce new glass. The major problem faced during the use of recycled glass for flat glass manufacturing is the availability of quality recovered glass. Also, flat glass has stringent quality requirements for optical defects, accredited to its end use.

Some of the key players in the Europe recycled glass market include Reiling Group, Pace Glass, Verallia, Strategic Materials Inc, etc.

Reiling Group is a conglomerate of ten recycling companies based in Europe that collects and recovers container glass. The objectives of the company include achieving an optimal recovery chain by using cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated services.

The company’s products are clean recyclates devoid of impurities from collected waste glass, ideal for use in melting applications.
