Today, Glass Fibre Europe submitted its response to the public consultation on the EU ETS Benchmarks for 2026–2030.
For the European glass fibre industry, the proposed product benchmark for continuous filament glass fibre (t CO₂/t melted glass) would have damaging and counterproductive effects. It significantly diverges from the industry’s actual GHG intensity, further exacerbating already weak profitability and effectively constraining the sector’s capacity to invest.
Glass Fibre Europe therefore calls for the proposed benchmark to be recalculated to better reflect the sector’s actual emissions profile.
