Recycling Glass Bottles
|
|
 |
New glass bottles are made mainly of silica sand. The sand is
melted in a furnace, at a very high temperature. Recycled glass bottles
are made in a very similar way, but cost less and use up fewer natural
resources.
The process begins when people take their used bottles and jars to a
bottle bank. Next, the bottles and jars are taken by lorry 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 by lorry 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 glass bottles.
Recycled glass is as pure and as strong as new glass. New glasses
are sent to the market.
Glass can be recycled many times
without losing its quality.
