The PCR-rich glass container market is expected to grow strongly over the next decade, increasing from USD 11.26 billion in 2026 to USD 21.04 billion by 2035 at a CAGR of 7.2%. This growth is largely driven by the rising demand for sustainable packaging. PCR (post-consumer recycled) packaging helps reduce plastic waste by giving discarded materials a second life instead of letting them end up in oceans or landfills.
Recnt Developments
- In August 2025, Veraila UK launched Vista, which is a packaging solution made from 100% PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) glass.
