according to an article i just read only about 24 percent of glass is recycled, it is remelted and the savings are about 20 percent from making new glass.
Glass bottles can be recycled by melting them down and forming them into new bottles or other glass products. If not recycled, they can take thousands of years to decompose in a landfill, contributing to environmental problems. Glass bottles that are not recycled can be repurposed for various DIY projects or used for decoration.
Recycled glass counter tops are made from 100% recycled glass which is combined with a binder that is based in cement or petroleum. Most of the glass used is from kerbside recycling bins or glass salvaged from building sites.
If glass is not recycled, it will end up in landfills where it takes hundreds to thousands of years to decompose. This can contribute to the depletion of finite natural resources and increase greenhouse gas emissions from the production of new glass. Additionally, it can harm wildlife and ecosystems if it breaks into sharp pieces.
When glass is incinerated, it will melt at high temperatures, typically around 2,600-2,900 degrees Fahrenheit. The molten glass can then be shaped and molded into new glass products. Glass can be recycled and reused multiple times without any loss of quality.
Yes, glass can be recycled and used repeatedly without losing its quality or purity. It is a sustainable and environmentally friendly material that can be recycled indefinitely.
It goes to the dump/landfill.

Yes it can. Glass can be recycled by melting it to make new glass items; but I believe it's not quite that simple.
Here's a page I found with some recycled glass prices on it. http://www.recycle.net/Glass/glass/xv090100.html
The two main sources of cullet, which is recycled glass used in glass production, are post-consumer recycled glass and pre-consumer recycled glass. Post-consumer cullet comes from glass containers recycled by consumers, while pre-consumer cullet comes from manufacturing scraps and rejects.

recycled glass countertops can be pricey even though they are recycled, they are still glass. they offer a lot of color but if they do chip or crack they cannot be easily fixed and must be replaced.
