What happens to the Glass??
The glass is sorted by colour, washed and impurities are removed. It is crushed into cullet (small pieces) and melted, then moulded to make new bottles and jars.
Glass can also be used as aggregate in road building: Glasphalt looks just like any other tarmac, but is 30% crushed glass, specially treated so it won’t puncture tyres!
