Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Mary Creagh)

We are looking at the issue of dual use, but the real prize with glass is, of course, to get to a reuse system, instead of a recycling system. I have been in touch with the drinks companies to look at how we speed up the start of that.
