The recycling of glass Leicestershire

A glass recycling process begins with collection. A representative from our company will come to your location to collect glass waste. A glass collection and recycling centre will then receive the glass and begin the recycling process. They will then be cleaned of their impurities and sorted according to their colours and grades at the recycling centre. 

Glasses of the same colour are often recycled together since this suggests they are chemically similar. Afterward, it will be smashed, melted, and moulded into new products, such as bottles and jars. Additionally, waste glass that is not recyclable to usable glass materials can be used to make bricks or as decorative materials.
