Recycled glass is made using broken pieces of waste glass, which undergoes sorting, cleaning, crushing, and mixing with raw materials like soda ash and sand. It is melted to form new products, such as bottles, jars, abrasives, containers, and insulation items, of varied colors and sizes. It assists in reducing emissions and consumption of raw materials, energy savings, and improving the overall air quality. As a result, it is utilized in different industry verticals, including food and beverage (F&B), construction, and water and wastewater treatment.
Discarded glass items usually end up in landfill waste that can take millions of years to decompose. This, in confluence with the rising use of glass for manufacturing various items, represents one of the major factors positively influencing the demand for glass recycling worldwide. Glass can be recycled completely without affecting its quality, purity, and other properties. As a result, recycled glass is widely being substituted for new glass to make packaging materials, which are employed in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. In addition, consumer inclination towards ready-to-eat (RTE) food products on account of hectic lifestyles and inflating income levels is bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, governing agencies of numerous countries are undertaking initiatives to motivate citizens, manufacturers, and communities to take steps towards a cleaner, safer environment. As a result, they are implementing laws that allow consumers to receive a refund value for each empty glass container returned. This can also minimize large landfills of waste, improve the quality of glass collected for recycling, which, in turn, is anticipated to create a positive influence on the market.
