Welcome to the Friends of Glass Recycle Week Facebook competition

We are very excited about this year’s Recycle Week, and to make it even better, we have decided to run an exclusive Facebook competition.

Do you know someone who goes that extra mile to reuse or recycle? Your Recycling Hero could be a friend, family member, neighbour or a celebrity.

For the duration of the week, we will ask our fans on Facebook to nominate their Recycling Hero in order to win a ten pounds Sainsbury’s voucher. We will be posting a question every day, starting on Monday 12th September.

Good luck 🙂

Facebook Competition rules:

1. One entry per person per day
2. The competition will run over 7 days, from 9am on Monday 12th until 6pm on Sunday 18th September 2016.
3. The winners will be announced daily
4. There is no cash alternative. Friends of Glass UK’s decision is final
5. Winners please allow up to 28 days after the closing date for delivery of your voucher

Why 5,000 year-old glass is still wine’s best friend

We love new things at Friends of Glass – but did you know that just by being told something is new can distort how people feel about something?

Love the ocean with our competition

Everyone is much more aware of the impact they have on the environment around us – especially the negative impact of ocean littering.

Does glass really get recycled?

A recent poll revealed that some people don’t bother recycling because they don’t think the material will actually be recycled. We can assure you that this is not true for glass! Glass is never rubbish – it’s a valuable resource. Here are four good reasons to believe that every bottle and jar you use really can and should go on to have another useful life.
