Glass is a material that can be recycled 100% without any loss of quality and purity. The waste glass is collected, crushed, sorted, mixed with raw materials and melted in furnace then cast to required shapes. The urgent need for glass recycling is that it aims to reduce the spaces in landfills that would otherwise be dumped with used glass jars and products. Recycled glass reduces the water pollution by 60% and air pollution by 30%.
