ZW Live! webinar: Reinventing glass
Glass packaging plays a crucial role in the ongoing transition towards sustainable packaging systems. Reusable glass bottles produce 75% fewer carbon emissions than single-use PET bottles and 57% fewer than aluminium cans. Glass also makes for a safe choice for food and beverage packaging.

Hello everyone,
Tomorrow, Tuesday 10, we are organising a webinar on the role of glass packaging in a decarbonized future.
We are basically trying to push the glass industry to embrace reuse and let go of single-use glass because of its incredibly high environmental footprint. The European glass industry is speaking and is going to fight for a place for single-use glass in the packaging world, would be great if you help us to fight back J
For those interested in reusable glass for spirits and wine we will have the CEO of Ecospirits presenting, really worth it!

Glass packaging plays a crucial role in the ongoing transition towards sustainable packaging systems. Reusable glass bottles produce 75% fewer carbon emissions than single-use PET bottles and 57% fewer than aluminium cans. Glass also makes for a safe choice for food and beverage packaging.
However, single-use glass has the highest environmental footprint compared to other single-use materials, as highlighted in the recent study commissioned to Eunomia Research & Consulting by Zero Waste Europe, Decarbonisation of Single Use Beverage Packaging.Could the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) reduce the impact of packaging on the environment by favouring reusable glass over single-use options?
Join us on 10 October to discuss single-use and reusable glass packaging with our panellists:
Simon Hann, Eunomia Research & Consulting, will share the results of the study mentioned above exploring the decarbonization of single-use beverage packaging, specifically examining the 1.5-carbon budgets for aluminium, PET, and glass beverage containers within the EU.
Adeline Farrely, director general of FEVE, will represent the perspective of the glass industry.
Paul Gabie, CEO of Ecospirits, will present its solution for reusable glass packaging.
