The Roadmap to Optimise Closed Loop Recycling of Glass Packaging 
 

The goal of this Roadmap is to set a pathway for Close the Glass Loop to further support the continued optimisation of the closed loop glass recycling process. In the context of closed-loop glass recycling, sorting glass coming from collection to get furnace-ready cullet as well as remelting furnace-ready cullet into new glass containers are both part of the virtuous recycling chain of glass. In this Roadmap we provide information on glass packaging and the closed loop glass recycling process, outline the key challenges to maximise the uptake of recycled content in the manufacturing of new glass containers and propose actions and pathways to address these challenges.
