Glass Bottle (Container) Recycling

Glass containers offer a highly sustainable solution to your packaging needs. Glass is 100% recyclable and if recycled properly it will never lose its purity or its quality no matter how many times it is reused. Glass recycling is also an efficient and effective process that can turn old glass bottles into a completely new product. This recyclability is not only important for the environment, but also for manufacturers, because it can save money and reduce emissions.

Let's discuss some of the most important benefits and key facts of glass recycling:

  • One ton of CO2 is decreased for six tons of recycled glass employed in the manufacturing cycle.
  • Manufacturers profit by recycling glass severally. For example, it decreases emissions and raw materials' consumption, saves energy, and extends the equipment's life, including furnaces.
  • Energy costs are reduced by around 2-3% for every 10% cullet employed in the manufacturing cycle.
  • More than one ton of natural resources is saved for one ton of glass recycled.
