Collecting Glass Waste: Protecting Natural Resources

    Glass waste, such as jars, beverage bottles and other containers, is a completely recyclable type of material. When not properly collected, they can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, contributing to long-term pollution and endangering wildlife.

Benefits of collecting glass waste

  • Reducing pollution: Recycling glass reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or in nature.
  • Conserving resources: Recycled glass can be reused without loss of quality, reducing the need for sand, a material used in glass production.
  • Saving energy: Making recycled glass requires less energy than manufacturing from raw materials.

 

Steps in Collecting and Recycling Glass Waste

  1. Collecting: Bottles and jars are collected by selective collection systems or recycling centers.

  2. Sorting: Separate glass by color (clear, green, brown) to ensure the quality of recycled products.

  3. Cleaning: The bottle is washed to remove impurities and food debris.

  4. Shrinking: Glass is broken into small pieces, called shards, to facilitate the melting process.

  5. Melting and remanufacturing: The shards are melted down and made into new containers, glass or other glass products.
