Zap away your empty bottles!

Did you know ?

Recycling glass is one of the many ways we can help reduce pollution and waste. Everyday we throw away tones of rubbish and glass is a significant part of it. Instead of letting landfills pile up with glass objects that are a threat to safety and the environment, we can use it again.

Advantages
  • The cost savings of recycling is in the use of energy. Compared to making glass from raw materials for the first time, cullet melts at a lower temperature. So we can save on energy needed to melt the glass.
  • Glass produced from recycled glass reduces related air pollution by 20% and related water pollution by 50%.
  • Recycling glass reduces the space in landfills that would otherwise be taken up by used bottles and jars.
  • Using glass for recycling means there are less glass objects lying around in he landfill or bin.

Economic Density 

•Glass reuse requires collection, route density equals an economic solution
•Based on a 1 tonne bin , once every 14 day, we need 300 sites to make one collection vehicle economic
•This level matches the NPC’s min volume for assistance
•In total, a plan to achieve 1500 sites would achieve sustainable economic volume

Environmental Facts 

Glass can be recycled endlessly with no loss in quality or purity.  In 2015, 41.9% of glass beer and soft drink bottles, 27.5% of wine and liquor bottles, 15.1% of food jars, and approximately 33.2% of all glass containers were recycled.  In some states, like California, glass bottle recycling reaches over 80%.* *
