Glass can be recycled forever without losing its purity or strength as the major ingredient in new glass containers.
Glass is made from natural materials like sand and has a low rate of chemical reaction with the contents of the container, which makes it a safe material to be reused.
A glass container can go from your recycling bin to a store shelf in as little as 30 days.
The energy saved from recycling one ton of glass saves the equivalent of 10 gallons of oil, cuts related air pollution by up to 20% and water pollution by 50%.
A glass bottle can take approximately 500 years to completely breakdown.
