The European container glass manufacturing industry is the largest glass producer in the world and an important sector of the EU economy, creating jobs and wealth in local regions where more than 160 plants are operating across Europe.
I look forward to working closely with FEVE members, staff, and the national associations to further develop the circular economy model which highly contributes to the competitiveness of the EU manufacturing sector.Glass is a material that has unique properties: we need to play our winning cards and continue to be the reference packaging material,” says Erik Bouts. “FEVE members have been a key driving force behind the European circular economy agenda, and I firmly believe that container glass is uniquely positioned to bring solutions to the big challenges of Resource Efficiency.”
