Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. This concept often includes the recovery of energy from waste materials. The recyclability of a material depends on its ability to reacquire the properties it had in its original state. It is an alternative to "conventional" waste disposal that can save material and help lower greenhouse gas emissions. It can also prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy use, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling). Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and represents the third step in the "Reduce,…

Glass recycling is the process of collecting, processing, and re-manufacturing waste glass into new products. Glass is ideal for recycling because it is not degraded by normal use. Scrap glass material, known as cullet, is used in glass manufacturing to reduce the consumption of energy and new raw materials. There are two types of cullet: Internal cullet comprises waste glass generated by glass production processes themselves, including quality control rejects, material from production transitions (such as colour or specification changes), and manufacturing offcuts. External cullet consists of post-industrial and post-consumer waste glass collected through organised recycling programmes. Ex…
