The tendency in Europe is the increasing use of glass packaging to substitute plastic packaging. As a response to the increase of glass waste, the recycling and recovery rates has grown in the last 10 years. 
To assure the circularity and recycling of glass packaging it's possible to follow these principles applied to glass bottles: 
*Leave no bottle behind: Ensure consumers have a way to recycle every glass bottle at a cost lower than waste disposal.
*Transform the recycling system: Develop infrastructure that is capable of economically sorting, processing, and transporting glass to manufacturing sites.
* Drive collective action: Identify collaboration opportunities between the private and public sectors to forge a nationwide commitment to solve the recycling challenge.
