Glass recycling is the process of turning waste glass into usable products. This includes separating different colors (usually transparent, green and brown) of glass.
Overview
Along with paper, glass is a large component of household and industrial waste, usually made up of disposed bottles, windows, and used or broken glassware. Glass waste collection points are very common now near shopping centers and in local neighborhoods, besides collection points of other recyclable waste like paper, metals, etc. Local (municipal) waste collectors usually have one central collection point for all types of waste in which large glass containers are located.
Most glass containers have separate entries for clear, green and amber glass (the latter should be used for unusual glass colors like blue, orange, etc.) as different colors of glass are usually chemically incompatible. Heat-resistant glass like Pyrex or borosilicate glass should not be disposed of in the glass container as even a single piece of such glass will alter the viscosity of the glass in the furnace at remelt.
