Recycled glass isn’t just eco-friendly—it’s a technical triumph. Here’s how it works:
Recycling Process:
Collection: Post-consumer glass (e.g., jars, bottles) is sorted by color.
Crushing: Cullet (broken glass) is melted at 1,200°C, using 30% less energy than virgin glass.
Remelting: Impurities like labels or metals are skimmed off.
Molding: New bottles are shaped with minimal carbon footprint.
Innovations:
Cradle-to-Cradle: Brands like Lush offer bottle return programs, rewarding customers for recycling.
Mixed Cullet: Marbled effects from blending green, brown, and clear glass.
Stats to Know:
1 recycled glass bottle saves enough energy to power a laptop for 25 mins.
80% of recycled glass becomes new containers (vs. 20% for plastic).
Challenge: Recycled glass can have slight color variations—would you accept this as a trade-off for sustainability?
