The Endless Cycle Of Glass
April 17, 2007 · Written by Joel
Glass bottles and jars can be recycled endlessly. That means that unlike some other recycled products, a recycled bottle can be recycled into another glass bottle. And another, and so on forever.
Bars and restaurants are obvious places where a lot of glass waste accumulates, the places I walk past early every morning are usually having a (very noisy) recycling collection with hundreds of bottles collected. More bottles would be able to be collected by one truck if the glass was already broken into pieces, but how to do this safely?
Australian based BottleCycler provide individual bottle recycling machines.
OK, they don’t recycle as such, they crush the glass so more can be stored in less space for collection. A great idea, as they not only reduce space in the bar or restuarant, but also in the recycling pick-up truck, increasing the number of journeys it has to make before returning to empty.
Do you know of anywhere besides Australia similar schemes are available?
