· Glass recycling helps minimize greenhouse gases
Glass recycling helps save materials and energy that are used in the production process such as oil, gas, coal, mining, harvesting, and manufacturing; they produce greenhouse. Making new glass from recycled material requires only 40% of the energy to make glass from sand.
· Glass recycling also helps save landfill space
There are a lot of recyclable materials that end up in the landfill rapidly. Glass takes one million years to break down naturally. Every piece of glass that has ever been buried in landfill is still sitting there and they take up much space, so glass recycling helps save space in landfill to be valuable space.
· Last, glass recycling helps conserve natural resources
Because recycled glass takes less energy to manufacture than producing new glass from virgin materials. Natural resources such as oil and coal are conserved by glass recycling.
