Glass can be considered to be a renewable resource as it can be recycled into new glass products. It is beneficial for glass producers to recycle glass because it takes considerably less energy to recycle than to make new glass.
As a bottle, it is re-usable. It is only two decades or so since milk and soda were sold in glass bottles that were returned and re-used many times over. In this case, even the cost of melting and reforming the glass is saved and the bottle could be used hundreds of times.
Glass isn't really renewable since it isn't a natural resource. Still you can recycle glass.
No, it can be melted numerous times but eventually loses it's ability to stay together and simply falls apart after solidifying. This process is known as molecule exhaustion
Glass is a man-made mixture of ingredients, so does not occur naturally.
Glass is made from silicon, or sand. However, sand is not renewable in the way we understand the term. It will not come back after it has been used. But there are very large supplies of sand.
It is renewable!
Yes sand is a renewable resource
Renewable means we can use it one day and next day it's still there to be used again, like sunlight, or ocean power. All sand is, is really small pieces of material like rocks and shells eroded by wind water or time. Sand is used for making glass, which is recyclable. But sand is not renewable.
No.
In term of resource management is called depleting resource.
