Yes, glass can be recycled to make fiber optics, but the process involves specific types of glass and careful purifying methods. Recycled glass must meet certain quality standards to ensure it can be effectively transformed into optical fiber. The recycling process typically involves crushing the glass, melting it down, and then drawing it into thin fibers. However, not all glass recycling facilities are equipped to handle this specialized process.
When you recycle glass make shure it is glass and it has to be glass not ceramic cookware (which looks alot like glass and can break simmilar to it), fiber glass or plexiglass.
Not internal refraction - internal reflection. And yes, that's essential to make fiber optics work.
Fiber optics are being incorporated into many technologies. Computer network infrastructure and telecommunications have been some of the first to make use of fiber optics. It is also starting to be used for lighting in objects such as christmas trees and frisbees.

Fiber glass is a synthetic building material. It is really made of glass, but is processed in such a way as to be strong, light weight, and durable.My tennis raquet is made of fiber glass. Speed boats made of fiber glass really go fast. Fiber glass makes good insulation.

You can't, there is no such thing as fiber optic wire. If it contained "wire" it would not be fiber optic. Wire refers to metal wiring such as copper in an insulated jacket coating. Fiber optics are bundles of glass tubing, typically sheathed in a much sturdier protective cable system (sometimes referred to as armoring). I assume your question is: How can we make a LAN using "fiber optic cable"? Answer: The same way you build a normal LAN you just switch out for new equipment. How much of your network you wish to switch over to fiber optics is the real question. At every stage of your LAN you will need a fiber optic ready piece of equipment including the modem, router and computer connection points. Fail to update any area of the LAN and you have devalued all of the fiber optics from that point and downstream of that point. Conceptually, beyond simply updating the equipment and cabling to fiber optics there are only a few additional considerations: 1. Length of the cables vs traditional wiring. Depending on the thickness and quality of your fiber optics you will have different recommended max lengths for networking legs. If you need to exceed the cables recommended length you will need a repeater or additional boosted router of some form. While you run into the same issue with traditional wiring just be aware that fiber optics have different length recommendations and vary with thickness. 2. Fiber optics are typically not as flexible as traditional wiring and require more care during installation. Where as wire can be bent or forced into different shapes and small spaces, fiber optics have a much smaller bend radius. If you bend a fiber optic cable beyond its bend radius you will shatter the glass tubing inside. Same issue should be considered for impact: With wiring you can hit it multiple times with a hammer and just flatting it or force it into a corner. With fiber optics, you will eventually shatter the inside if enough force is applied. While most fiber optics have been designed with enough armor cable to withstand basic handling, none of it can withstand the level of abuse that wire will endure and continue to function. 3. It's typically much thicker than wire. If you have pre drilled holes for wiring bundles, they may need to be enlarged for the same number of fiber optic cables to fit in the same location. Fiber optics may be 2 to 5 times the diameter of traditional wiring. This simply depends on the quality of the cables used. Thicker armor and/or thicker glass bundles are typically going to be higher quality and less prone to damage or having issues with data transmission over longer distance.

The future scope of fiber optics is promising with advancements in technology driving faster data transmission, increased bandwidth capacity, and improved connectivity. Fiber optics will continue to be essential in supporting high-speed internet, 5G networks, cloud computing, and other emerging technologies that rely on reliable and efficient data transmission. Additionally, fiber optics will play a crucial role in expanding broadband access to underserved areas and supporting the growth of smart cities and IoT applications.

Only aluminum is continually recyclable. Paper has a one cycle recycle life. Plastic costs more in processing and transportation costs than the plastic resins are worth. Household pay more to recycle plastic than it would cost to bury it. Glass is not cost effective to recycle because it costs more to clean and separate it than it costs to make new glass. The energy to make new glass is about the same as recycling used glass.
