A glass bottle is
one of the world’s marvelous inventions. They are used to keep honey, fresh
ground coffee beans, dried tea leaves, mayonnaise and many other things that
need good containers. Glass bottles are proven to preserve the qualities of
such things better than any other containers. Another good thing about glass
bottles is that they can be recycled to make new glass bottles that cost less
and use up fewer natural resources.
The glass bottles’
recycling process begins when people take their used bottles and jars to a
bottle pool. Next, the bottles and jars
are taken to the recycling plant. At the
plant, bottle tops and lids are removed.
After that, the glass is crushed into small pieces. The crushed glass is
then sent to a bottle factory. Here, it
is mixed with a small amount of silica sand.
It is then melted in a furnace, at a lower temperature than new glass. Finally,
the hot liquid glass is drawn out of the furnace and fed into machinery that
makes it into bottles. These new glass bottles are now ready to be shipped to
other factories that need containers.
There, they will be equipped with new bottle tops and lids and sent to
the market.
Recycled glass is
as pure and as strong as new glass.
Glass can be recycled many times without losing its quality. Therefore,
if you are finished with your glass bottles, make sure you throw them into a
special trash bin for glass so that they can be recycled to make new glass
bottles.
