Italy’s glass recycling rate climbs to 82% in 2025, reflecting stronger circular‑economy performance
Executive summary: Italy’s glass recycling rate reached 82% in 2025, a 2.5% rise compared with 2024, based on data from the Coreve recovery consortium. Higher recycling reduces demand for virgin raw materials, cuts energy use in glass production and supports the country’s circular‑economy and climate goals.

According to the Coreve consortium, the share of glass packaging waste that was recycled in Italy reached 82% in 2025, up 2.5 percentage points from the prior year. The increase shows that collection and sorting systems are working better and that manufacturers are using more recycled cullet. While the figure is still below the EU’s 2030 target of 90%, the steady upward trend suggests that national policies and industry initiatives are beginning to pay off.
