With the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), the European Commission is presenting a regulation aimed at strengthening Europe's sovereignty with regard to the supply of raw materials. BV Glas welcomes this initiative, because strategic and critical raw materials are also used to manufacture glass products, especially in the special glass industry.
For the production of glass-ceramic panels for electric cooktops (induction / radiant) several raw materials that are listed as Critical Raw Materials by the EU (notably Lithium) are needed. Lithium is a critical component of glass-ceramics and cannot be substituted. For the year 2025 we expect around 15 million glass-ceramic cooktops to be sold in the EU, containing an estimated 4,350,000 kg of lithium carbonate.

BV Glas supports the goal of the Commission to achieve a higher level of protection of citizens and of the environment against hazardous chemicals and believes that its products are aligned with these criteria. However, the actions foreseen by the European Commission seem to pose a lot of new requirements on companies. These requirements will lead to enormous costs and efforts for companies.
The glass industry wants to continue to support the EU on the path to climate neutrality. With its diverse products ranging from high performance glazing products to resource-saving container glass, reinforcement glass fibres in wind turbines, special glass for the semiconductor industry, the European glass industry is an essential contributor to the energy transition.

The Federal Association of the German Glass Industry (Bundesverband Glasindustrie, BV Glas) welcomes this opportunity to comment the inception impact assessment on the Industrial Emission Directive (IED) review. In our view, the consultation comes at an inappropriate time: Firstly, the COVID-19-pandemic is currently the dominant topic and consultations should therefore be postponed.
BV Glas supports the goal of the Commission to better protect citizens and the environment against hazardous chemicals and encourage innovation and believes that its products are aligned with these criteria. However, in the revision of the REACH Regulation, considerable tightening of the regulations is planned. BV Glas would like to contribute to the REACH revision process.
BV Glas welcomes the possibility of participating in the European Commission’s Call for Evidence on the Electrification Action Plan. Electrification is the key lever for decarbonisation for the glass industry and can almost completely avoid emissions when using zero-carbon electricity.
