Preparation process of glass waste in circular economy

Abstract

The domestic packaging glass waste is recyclable in 100 %. This is a very importact fact since according to the directive (EU) no. 2018/852 of the European Parliament and of The Council of 30 May 2018 all member countries must eliminate the production of packaging waste. Beyond this goal the emphasis has to be on the recycling and reusing of packaging waste. This would put an end on the final disposal of packaging waste and in this way the change to the circular economy would happen. With a working circular economy the emission of waste materials and the leakage of energy is can be minimalized, that can be reached by sustainable planning, maintenance, correction, reusing and recycling. The EU Directive 2018/852 / EU aims to recycle 70% of glass packaging waste by 31 December 2025. This figure should rise to 75% by 2030. The main reason for the choice of this topic is this EU objective. This article is an overview of the environmentally-friendly, technology design of the preparation process of domestic glass waste.
