Reports from British Glass and the FEVE – the European Container Glass Federation have found that European and UK glass industries are advancing together towards netzero emissions.
The Decarbonisation Report 2025 from FEVE confirms the transition to low-carbon glass manufacturing is now underway across Europe. Its findings align closely with the Glass Sector Net Zero Strategy 2050 report developed by British Glass. The reports show that glass manufacturers are deploying new technologies, improving energy efficiency, and transforming how glass is produced.
Dr Nick Kirk, Federation Director at British Glass said: “The FEVE Decarbonisation Report shows that our industry is making tangible progress. “The UK and European glass sectors are aligned, innovating, and investing to deliver real emissions reductions proving that climate-neutral production is already achievable."
British Glass also highlighted that the sector’s co-ordinated approach demonstrated resilience at a critical time for European industry. It emphasised that glass is a permanent, endlessly recyclable material, and a key component in supply chains across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Therefore, achieving climate neutrality in production would ensure that the industry could keep supplying these sectors sustainably, protect skilled manufacturing jobs, and remain competitive in global markets.
