Did you know that recycling glass is simple and benefits the environment? Glass that is sent to a landfill can take a million years to breakdown! However recycled glass will appear on a store shelf in another form in less than 30 days.
There are many reasons why recycling glass is important. For example:
- Sustainability. In addition to its quick turnover time, glass has the ability to be recycled repeatedly with no loss of quality.
- Efficiency. Recovered glass serves as the primary ingredient in new glass containers.
- Conservancy. By recycling glass, natural resources such as sand and limestone are conserved.
- Energy Saving. Conserving natural resources means that heat is not required to transform them into glass. As a result, the energy that would be needed to fuel the heat machines can be saved.
- Useful. Recycled glass can be used in many objects such as floor tiles or decorative pieces.
- It pays. Many states offer cash refunds for most glass containers, making recycling financially rewarding!
