Continuing our commentary on recycling the glass that comprises our luxurious frameless shower doors, I will move on to discuss glass recycling facts and more!
Glass is one of the most popular materials recycled today, both because of the purity of the ingredients and the quick turnaround of recycling. Your glass containers actually begin their life as readily-available domestic materials, such as sand, soda ash or limestone. Similar to paper, glass comes in a variety of colors, which comes into play in the recycling process.
Recycled glass has the same level of quality as that made from virgin raw materials, no matter how many times it is recycled. With over 50,000 glass-recycling banks around the UK and the United States, you can be sure there is one near you for you to put the 331 bottles and jars your average household generates. To put this into perspective, for every bottle you recycle, the energy saved is equivalent to a 60-watt bulb being switched on for almost 2 hours or a television for 20 minutes.
If what I ultimately have to offer is half as much as what you now have to offer, I’ll be able to consider it a job well done.
