Northern Ireland, Keep Recycling Local | Close the Glass Loop Case Study

The "Keep Recycling Local" campaign in Northern Ireland aims to reduce the export of recyclables by improving the quality of locally collected materials, especially glass, so they can be reprocessed by local businesses. Led by Enva, Encirc, and Bryson Recycling, with support from environmental advocates, this initiative focuses on establishing a three-stream recycling system to separate glass, plastics, and paper. This approach would replace the current “co-mingled” collection system, which often leads to contamination and reduces the recyclability of materials, resulting in costly exports to distant locations. The campaign highlights that local companies such as Encirc, based in County Fermanagh, must import glass from abroad due to contamination in locally collected materials. The three-stream system is expected to provide high-quality recyclables for reprocessing by Northern Irish companies, supporting the local circular economy and reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, this change could lower costs for councils and benefit local industries, as cleanly sorted materials can be directly reused to manufacture new products within the region​. ................... Established in June 2020, Close The Glass Loop is a multi-stakeholder initiative bringing together the entire glass packaging circular economy value chain, represented by 14 European associations and 13 national platforms.
