The glass we receive undergoes a recycling and repurposing process within UK-based facilities, resulting in the creation of a diverse array of new products, aggregate sub-bases, and fiberglass insulation.

 

By engaging in the simple yet impactful act of recycling our glass, we actively contribute to the reduction of non-renewable fossil fuel usage and the mitigation of emissions, particularly those associated with the production of CO2 from carbonate raw materials like limestone.

 

It is noteworthy that for every tonne of recycled glass introduced to the furnace, 1.2 tonnes of raw materials are conserved, underscoring the significant positive environmental implications of glass recycling.

 

All of our glass is initially crushed to a size of 20 - 40mm and subsequently transported to Ireland. There, it undergoes further crushing, processing, and cleaning before being transformed into fiberglass insulation.

 

In particular, our glass bottles are meticulously recycled, finding new life either as fresh glass bottles or as decorative glass features, showcasing our commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly practices throughout our production processes.
