Glass is one of the most sustainable materials out there, with its ability to be consistently recycled without losing its properties. With glass taking at least 400 years to biodegrade, the fact that only 50% of glass is recycled in the UK is incomprehensible.
The hospitality industry pours 600,000 tonnes of glass to landfill every year alone – indicating that there’s a lot more that can be done, and largely by the UK business sector.
Strong, durable and transparent. Its crystal clear that we could be putting glass to much more use and reuse. By adding recycled glass to the manufacturing process, we can minimise the detrimental environmental effects of the extraction of raw materials, reduce air pollution by 20% and related water pollution by 50%, which also helps to reduce production costs throughout the chain.
Wastesolve has the solution to fix the problem, no matter how large or small! We will collect your glass and recycle it, by crushing, mixing and melting glass to produce sparkling new glass products or building materials.
