Added on September 29, 2010, 6:57 pmOk found the reason why they don't recycle glass. But still, they should recycle glass because or else, it will be on landfills for a million years.
There are high costs involved in transporting the recycled glass to the re-manufacturing plant.
Consumers often add non-recyclable glass to the recyclable glass resulting in a less that pure product.
Much of the glass is used in commercial establishments is not recycled and ends up in landfills.
Glass must be sorted into colors to be recycled.
In order to keep the recycled glass pure, high costs are involved in purchasing machinery that will detect contaminants such as “Pyrex” and will sort the processed glass according to color.
Glass is used for a number of other products such as mirrors, Pyrex brand cookware, light bulbs, countertops and flooring materials. None of these products can be used to recycle glass, and if mixed with recyclable glass, will contaminate the final product.
