Research Summary
Glass recycling is the process of collecting, sorting, and processing used glass items to create new glass products. The recycling journey typically begins with the collection of discarded glass containers, such as bottles and jars, through recycling programs or designated collection points. Once collected, the glass is transported to a recycling facility where it undergoes sorting to remove contaminants like labels and caps. The glass is then cleaned and crushed into small pieces called cullet. The cullet is melted in a furnace, and it can be used to manufacture new glass items without the need for as many raw materials. Glass recycling is environmentally beneficial as it reduces the demand for raw materials, saves energy, and decreases the amount of waste sent to landfills. Recycled glass can be endlessly recycled without losing quality, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly option for packaging and other glass products.
