Why recycle glass? Because manufacturers use it to make new glass! Materials like sand, soda ash, & limestone combine with as much recycled glass as is available to produce new glass! ♻ AND, the more recycled glass manufacturers use, the less energy they put out! @FriendsofGlass

"Glass forms a virtually inert barrier – nothing gets in or out. But the best thing about glass is that it can be endlessly recycled, with no loss in quality. Every item of glass packaging today contains around 60% used glass, and in green bottles it can be as much as 90%!"

This is actually Quite Interesting….I’ve never been told the journey my Chardonnay bottle goes on, after it has enriched my life momentarily. But now I know.

A pleasure to be involved in @ZeroWasteLeeds community engagement campaign. The installation of 3 new recycling banks in Leeds has resulted in a 43% increase of #glass collected for recycling! The banks were designed by local children to make #recycling more fun!

They asked shoppers what they wanted. The answers were a “wake-up call.” Global retailer @CarrefourGroup talks about how they’re actively working to evolve #sustainability in food packaging - and how glass plays a big role. bit.ly/3zMsNPg

Replying to @FriendsofGlass
@FriendsofGlass tells me 2022 is the international year of glass. As a child of St Helens, ex terra lucem, home of @pilkingtonglass, I guess I ought to promote this too, whatever it means. Romans provided my favourite characterisation of glass, a kind of concrete of sand and salt

Glass is healthy, versatile, and better yet, sustainable. No wonder 91% consumers recommend glass as the best packaging material. Check out @FriendsofGlass's latest #EndlessCycle story to learn why one mother can’t get enough of using glass. friendsofglass.com/health/ho…

Editorial: Glass can be recycled infinitely without losing any of its properties. So why are so many countries still burying most of their glass as landfill by the tonne? go.nature.com/3BI35uD

We're one of the world's oldest industries, yet we're more relevant than ever when it comes to offering an everyday packaging that rises to growing environmental concerns. That's why #glass has a clear pathway to decarbonisation & climate neutrality. #EconSustainability

Looking for non-toxic alternatives to storing food. Glass may be the best option. #plasticpollutes #breakfreefromplastic
Friends of Glass@FriendsofGlass30 Aug 2021
#Glass is the safest packaging for storing fruits and veggies because it provides a secure barrier against external agents, preserving its taste and freshness. 🍊🍅 On top of that, glass’ sleek design makes for super aesthetic organisation 😉 Photo credit: Connie and Luna

How to quench your thirst on these hot #SummerDays?☀️ The answer is water. Opt for tap water and re-fill your #glassbottle throughout the day. Glass bottles are free of contaminants, easy to clean and the best choice to keep #water fresh. And remember, #StayHydrated!💧

Why are most #beers stored in glass bottles? #Glass is the best option to preserve the beer's flavour and aroma while keeping out oxygen, which can make it stale. It also maintains beer’s effervescence and reduces its exposure to light 🍺🍺

Good news! Last year, in Leeds, we recycled 37% more glass than the previous year. Thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to recycle your glass during 2020! Let’s keep recycling! bit.ly/3glI41j
