EU Glass Packaging Recycling Reaches New High: 75.6% in 2022, according to Eurostat data

Eurostat recently updated its database with the latest glass packaging recycling figures for 2022, and we can reveal that the EU average has reached 75.6%!

 

The dominance of green colors on the map indicates that EU Member States are on track to meet their 2030 glass packaging recycling target of 75%.

In 2022, there was an increase of 200,000 tonnes in glass packaging recycled compared to 2021. This positive trend demonstrates the commitment of EU Member States to sustainable practices and enhancing recycling efforts.

As we await data from all countries, we will keep a close eye on these developments and ensure the map and EU average are updated accordingly. Our commitment remains strong in supporting local and national efforts to improve glass collection for recycling.
