O-I Glass cites 133,000 tonnes of CO2 saved via energy projects in 2025

O-I Glass's 2026 Sustainability Report says hundreds of energy-saving projects cut an estimated 133,000 tonnes of CO2 in 2025, the year it set up a global energy team called Spark. Absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 28% below the 2019 baseline, 65% of global electricity use was matched with renewable energy certificates against an 80% goal for 2030, and recycled content averaged 42%.

Why this mattersDisclosed energy savings and 42% recycled content give O-I evidence for brand owners comparing glass suppliers on carbon, as customers face rising sustainability expectations.

  • 2026-10-22 · Edited before publication: The source does not say the Spark team ran the projects. I added the grounded numbers from O-I's release (28% Scope 1+2 cut, 65% REC-matched electricity, 42% recycled content). The customer-retention line was speculative.
