Glass makers and energy-intensive industries press EU leaders on ETS reform

FEVE, the European Container Glass Federation, joined a coalition of energy-intensive industries in a letter to EU Heads of State and Government ahead of the 15-16 October European Council, urging that the review of the EU Emissions Trading System be treated as a competitiveness priority. The letter warns the revision will shape Europe's industrial cost base, investment decisions and jobs, and calls for the reform to support rather than undermine the business case for decarbonisation investment in Europe.

Why this mattersThe ETS review will set carbon costs across container glass and other energy-intensive packaging materials, directly affecting production economics and investment in decarbonisation.
