Recycle Glass
Glass is a fully recyclable material. We can recycle glass over and over endlessly without loss in quality or purity. Recycling glass has enormous environmental benefits including reducing carbon emissions, raw material consumption, energy use, and waste.
- Every 6 tons of recycled container glass used reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 1 ton.
- Every ton of recycled container glass used conserves over a ton of raw materials.
- Energy costs are reduced by 2-3 % for every 10% of recycled glass used in the glass manufacturing process, because recycled glass melts at a much lower temperature than the other raw materials used.
- Similarly to reusing glass containers, recycling them also reduces waste. The glass recycling system is closed-loop. This means no additional waste or by-products are created in the process.
