Glass Recycling Benefits

Reduces Carbon Emissions
Recycling glass reduces CO2 emissions by roughly 50%.
Can Be Endlessly Recycled
Glass can be endlessly recycled with no loss in quality.
Reduces Landfill Space
Recycling glass reduces the amount of space in landfills that would otherwise be taken up by used glass.
Can Be Used For Coastal Restoration
Glass can be recycled into sand that can be used for coastal restoration and natural disaster relief. Native grasses planted in glass-based soil thrive and increase the vegetation needed to protect and rebuild habitats.
