The annual recycling of glass bottles is increasing, but the amount of recycling is huge and immeasurable.
According to the glass packaging association, recycling a glass bottle saves about four hours for a 100-watt bulb, 30 minutes for a computer to run and 20 minutes for television, so recycling glass is a significant thing.
Recycling can save energy and reduce the amount of waste in landfills, which can provide more materials for other products, including glass bottles.
