because glass that comes from bottles is of a certain and more predictable type. it is a type used to be heated up and cooled down very quickly to aid in mass production. window glass has iron in it to make it stronger and also carries with it a tin residue from the manufacturing process. this means it isn't able to go along with the other glass to be recycled in this way, it can be recycled, but must undergo a slightly different process than glass bottles.
