Glass
Glass recycling focuses on container glass (e.g. glass bottles and jars). Glass manufacturers regularly use recycled glass in the production of new containers with percentages of recycled material ranging from 7%-50%, depending on the manufacturer.
The process is as follows:
- Glass is crushed into a cullet.
- The cullet is shipped to a manufacturer who melts it and mixes it with “virgin” material to make new containers.
It is very important to separate your glass at your bring bank or local recycling centre. Materials such as ceramics, pyrex, windows and mirrors contaminiate the entire load and render it unusable.
