[12:42.56]Glass Container Recycling
[12:44.76]Glass is most often used for food and beverage containers,
[12:49.46]although aluminum and plastic manufacturers also compete for this market.
[12:55.11]Glass recycling offers many benefits to the consumer,
[12:59.51]the environment and the glass industry itself.
[13:03.94]Unlike many other recyclables, glass can be recycled an unlimited number of times.
[13:11.12]And recycled glass goes into many products, including new glass containers.
[13:18.10]At the recycling center, processors crush glass into a material.
[13:23.81]Then manufacturers mix it with sand, soda ash and limestone to form new glass.
[13:31.77]This material not only costs less than glass made from new materials
[13:37.18]but it also melts at a lower temperature.
[13:40.87]A lower melting point means that glass made from recycled materials
[13:45.90]requires less energy to produce than glass made from new materials.
[13:51.96]This will in turn reduce energy expenditures,
[13:56.05]prolong the melting container's life and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
[14:01.65]As glass manufacturers spend less money,
[14:05.05]consumers benefit from lower prices on glass containers.
