Good morning,

Glass is something that frequently gets overlooked as a
recyclable because it is just so abundant. Silica is most
commonly found in nature as sand and it is a principal
component of most types of glass.

However, glass still requires a large amount of energy to
produce. The Glass Packaging Institute states recycled
glass uses only two-thirds the energy needed to manufacture
glass from raw materials.

And unlike some other products, like paper, glass can be
recycled indefinitely.

Thanks for reading,

* For every ton of recycled glass, 1.2 tons of raw materials
are not required and after taking into account transport and
processing needed to recycle glass, nearly 700 pounds of
carbon dioxide is saved per ton of glass melted for the pur-
poses of making bottles and jars.


* Recycled glass isn't just used for making more bottles - it
can be turned into fiberglass (which is also used in house
insulation), and as a component of bricks. Glass can be re-
cycled indefinitely.
