In 2018, the most recent year for which data is currently available, Ireland's recycling rate for glass was 82%, well above the EU Packaging Directive targets of 70% by 2025 and 75% by 2030. For further information please see www.epa.ie/our-services/monitoring--assessment/waste/national-waste-statistics/packaging/.  Given how well the current system is operating in relation to glass recycling, there are no plans to mandate the provision of a household glass collection service.
