Take a glass-half-full approach to recycling.

Fast Facts

Sweeping up old glass

Glass can be recycled endlessly without any loss in quality. Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough energy from the manufacturing process to keep a 100-watt bulb on for hours. Aside from being a good business practice, glass recycling is also often mandated by local governments to support sustainability initiatives. Whether your business is looking to implement a zero-waste program or to adhere to local recycling requirements, a focus on glass is a must.

It takes more than one million years for glass to break down in a landfill
More than a ton of natural resources is saved for every ton of glass recycled
