* recycled bottles are taken to recycling center * non-recyclables are removed by hand * different colored bottles are separated * bottles are cleaned * filtered (to remove bottle tops etc) * the cullet is melted in blast furnace * new bottles are made Crushed recycled glass is called "cullet" Making glass from recycled bottles uses only 40% of the energy of making them from raw materials (sand, limestone and soda ash) New glass products have up to 80% recycled content. Glass can be recycled infinitely over and over again! Contaminants: * ceramic (cups, plates, china, crockery) * drinking glasses * oven-proof glass all contaminate the recycled glass.
