Online Press Conference: Unveiling the 2024 Glass Packaging Collection for Recycling Rate
It’s the moment the entire glass packaging value chain waits for every year! We are happy to invite you to our upcoming online press conference, where we will officially release the 2024 Close the Glass Loop collection for recycling rate.
As a long-standing tradition for our network, these stats provide the definitive benchmark for Europe’s progress toward reaching our ambitious 90% glass collection for recycling rate. This landmark annual release brings together whole glass packaging value chain to evaluate what is working on the ground and where infrastructure gaps remain.
To give journalists a direct and accessible platform to engage, ask questions and connect with both European and national CGL partners, we are hosting this exclusive reveal entirely online.

Why the 2024 Rate Matters?
Glass is an endlessly recyclable permanent material, but the loop only closes if the entire value chain cooperates seamlessly, from consumers and local municipalities to waste managers and manufacturers. The 2024 statistics will provide a clear baseline of where each individual European country stands, spotlighting which nations are already setting the standard for circularity and which still have a potential to scale up their collection infrastructure. Ultimately, attendees will get a panoramic view of how close Europe is to turning its structural glass packaging circular economy goals into a daily reality.
What to expect from the interactive format:
- Live Q&A Session: A dedicated window for journalists and accredited media representatives to pose questions directly to our speakers for immediate, on-the-record responses.
