How is the European wine sector helping to Close the Glass Loop? A new Journey Through Sectors video from Close The Glass Loop puts the spotlight on the wines sector, exploring how wine producers across Europe are strengthening glass recycling and circularity.
The video features four concrete case studies and perspectives from CEEV – Comité Vins’s Secretary General, Ignacio Sánchez Recarte, on how and where wine is consumed across Europe – and what this means for packaging, collection and recycling systems.
The video explores:
- The wine sector’s vision for sustainability
- Why packaging matters in that vision
- The role of glass for wines
- How circularity of glass packaging can be increased
From collection to recycling, the wines sector is showing how collaboration across the value chain can help reach 90 percent glass collection for recycling.
