1. GLASS MARKET SITUATION IN ITALY Bucharest - 2014

2. 1. MARKET SITUATION  Glass packaging production: 3.439.407 ton (+ 1,41% of 2012) NB: Peak year 2008: 3.835.000 ton  Use of glass cullet: 1.957.000 ton (- 2,1% of 2012)  green: 65%  white: 4%  half white: 31%  Import: 119.000 ton = minimum over 10 years (- 31% of 2012)  Flat glass used: 268.000 ton (= 2012) Rate of recycling (flat glass cullet included) = 56,9%

3. 2. COLLECTION OF GLASS Data CO.RE.VE:collection of 1.720.000 ton (+ 2,81% of 2012) collection rate: collected glass / packaging glass released for consumption in Italy = 78,6% Quality very poor and below EU level: ± 3% impurities  waste during sorting: 13 – 14% part of it (micronized glass < 900µ) used in glassworks or ceramic Collection by area (data 2012) North: 63,72% Center: 16,08% South & Islands: 20,20%

4. 2. COLLECTION OF GLASS Collection systems diversified:  roadside containers (glass – glass bottles – metallic cans)  industrial containers at recycling center  kerbside collection  Comingled collection (glass – plastic – cans): worst quality  Higher costs of treatment due to discontinuity and great variety of materials

5. 3. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS Development of CO.RE.VE. activities during the last 10 years with collection development mainly in Center-South of Italy but further development still needed. Waste treatment companies excluded from management decisions of CO.RE.VE.  conflicts. Legislation:no changes use of glass in road beds still forbidden. Perspectives 2014: strong demand for cullet from the glass packaging glassworks  positive effect on solid market positions.
