Many governments are promoting the usage of recycled glass for environmental benefits such as, recycling one ton of glass saves 670 kg of C02. Europe is leading the global recycled glass market with more than 30% share. In Europe, 70% of glass bottles are collected for recycling. Countries like Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland have over 90% recycling rates. In terms of product, the glass cullet segment is the largest segment. It accounted for more than 50% of the overall recycled glass market. More than 95% of glass cullet collected, turn into glasses. The container and fiberglass industries collectively purchase more than 3 million tons of recycled glass annually, which is used in the production of new containers and fiberglass products. Cost Drivers Determining the cost of glass recycling is very complicated because, in some countries, waste glass collection is sponsored by glass manufacturers. Whereas, in some cases, the collection is sponsored by local municipal authorities. Predominantly, a glass collecting company or agency does the initial sorting and cleaning of collected waste glass. This process is the major cost driver of glass recycling. It accounted for more than 20% of the glass recycling cost. After cleaning, collection agencies sell the glass to glass container manufacturers. When the glass cullet reaches glass container manufacturers, the cost of glass recycling is determined by the raw material costs. Major raw materials include sand, limestone, soda ash, and cullet. The cost of raw material during glass manufacturing from recycled cullet accounted for more than 50% of the overall cost of production. Find more research reports by Grand View Research:
