Recycled glass

Glass recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and re-manufacturing waste glass into new products. Glass is ideal for recycling because it is not degraded by normal use.

Scrap glass material, known as cullet, is used in glass manufacturing to reduce the consumption of energy and new raw materials.
There are two types of cullet:Internal cullet comprises waste glass generated by glass production processes themselves, including quality control rejects, material from production transitions, and manufacturing offcuts.
External cullet consists of post-industrial and post-consumer waste glass collected through organised recycling programmes.
