Statistics of Co.Re.Ve (Consorzio Recuper Vetro):
1.682.000 ton collected packaging glass = + 6,2 % compared to 2010◦3 % other elements ◦total of impurities = 13 – 14%
Collection rate of glass, referred to the produced quantity of glass containers sold on the Italian market, is 72,94 %
Different systems of collection:Door – to – door collectionCollection in ‘Waste islands’Comingled collection (together with plastic and cans) - worst cullet quality
1.Glass collection stays below level in the centre and the south of the country2.System of auctions of container cullet have quite changed the market, even if a part of the market remains free.3.Glass factories need every year a better quality that imposes big investments in sorting machines4. Prospects of glass packaging are good but should be related to the economical situation in Italy.
