Germany to hold a Significant Market Share
- The Glass Bottles and Containers Industry is well-regulated in Germany. It has established systems of recycling that have existed for more than four decades now and have been producing very encouraging results for the country.
- The glass manufacturers have been critical players in the re-use and recycling system of Germany. Gerresheimer, for instance, began producing glass with a higher proportion of recycled glass at the Tettau site in Germany. By using recycled glass, it aims to produce new high-quality cosmetics packaging. Many leading players, like Gerresheimer, are driving circularity and resource savings every day.
- Furthermore, the German beer, wine industry, and counterparts in the United Kingdom face a shortage of beer bottles. Also, with a heightened focus on disinfection and COVID-19 prevention measures, customers have been shifting towards sustainable, non-toxic ingredients and are observed prioritizing efficiency. Amcor's European consumer research, an online survey conducted in February 2020 of 2,500 consumers across the UK, France, Italy, Germany, and Sweden, reported that people want to make a more sustainable living.
- According to Container xChange, the online platform for leasing and selling shipping containers predicts that European container exporters will deteriorate significantly with the existing shortage in the market.
- In addition, In February 2021, Ardagh Group produced Absolut's latest limited-edition vodka bottle, intending to enable people to interact in celebration of inclusivity. The upward spiral design of 16 swirls on the frosted blue glass bottle represents the never-ending cycle of change. The upward flow of the swirling spiral symbolizes communal growth and embraces positivity.
