5 reasons why Glass will be your next sustainable friend
In ecology, sustainability is the capacity to endure; it is how biological systems remain diverse and productive indefinitely
Here are 5 reasons why Glass is one of the best examples of a sustainable material to incorporate into your lifestyle.
1. It’s 100% endlessy recyclable, which means that recycled glass is always part of the recipe for glass.
2. Glass has the best barrier protection vs. any alternative packaging materials.
3. The more recycled glass used, the less energy is wasted to create new glass.
4. Glass can reflect and absorb solar energy.
5. Every tonne of recycled glass saves 670 Kgs of CO2
