Reporting
Glass Recycling
Every year we source over 3 million tonnes of glass waste and transform it into premium-quality cullet for re-use in a range of applications including container glass, glass wool, flat glass, filtration, flacons, road marking & flooring. The re-use of cullet in place of primary raw materials prevents waste glass ending up in landfill, whilst enabling glass manufacturers to reduce energy usage, cut emissions and complete a closed-loop recycling process.
