Glass Recycling

Glass Recycling is one of Boughton Engineering's many capabilities, turning waste glass into usable products. Glass makes up a large component of household and industrial waste due to its weight and density, usually made up of bottles, broken glassware, light bulbs, etc. Adding to this waste is the fact that many manual methods of creating glass objects have a defect rate of around forty percent. Glass recycling uses less energy than manufacturing glass from sand, lime and soda. Every metric tonne of waste glass recycled into new items saves vast amounts of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere during the creation of new glass. Glass is an ideal material for recycling and where it is used for new glass container manufacture it is virtually infinitely recyclable. Recycling conserves raw materials, reduces energy consumption, and reduces the volume of waste sent to landfill. Did you know 752,000 tonnes of glass are now recycled annually in the United Kingdom?
