How Glass Waste is Recycled
The glass recycling process starts with the collection of the glass waste, which is then sorted by colour and cleaned to remove any impurities. The clean glass is crushed into small pieces, known as cullet. This cullet is melted and molded into new glass products, completing the recycling loop. The beauty of glass is that it can be recycled endlessly without losing its quality or purity.
