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.
