Close the Glass Loop has partnered with an Albanian recycling and circular economy company to host a workshop in Albania.
The European action platform joins Green Recycling to hold an event on glass collection and recycling in Albania.
The workshop will take place on 17 June at the Tirana International Hotel & Conference Centre in Albania.
It aims to bring together European and Albanian stakeholders across the glass packaging value chain to exchange perspectives, share best practices and discuss possible pathways for improving glass packaging collection and recycling in Albania.
The event will run from 9:00AM to 16:00PM, and includes opening speeches by Jean-Paul Judson, CEO and Coordinator of Close the Glass Loop and the Albanian Minister for Environment.
It also features a talk on effective glass collection and recycling systems across Europe, and will assess the current status of glass packaging waste management in Albania.
Additionally, the workshop aims to explore the development of a national action plan for glass packaging collection and recycling, and highlight the importance of establishing an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for glass packaging, which would help increase collection rates and improve recycling infrastructure.
