What is Glass Recycling?
Glass recycling is one of the most efficient recycling operations there is. Glass is a very recyclable material and doing so saves money and resources. The UK has a poor record of glass recycling which is a wasted opportunity. Glass that is not recycled will lie in a landfill site forever. It is inert, so although the resource is being wasted, there should be no further damage to the environment. What is involved in the recycling process, what is the glass eventually made into and how much do we recycle?
