An important advantage of glass materials is that they can be smelted and used indefinitely, which means that as long as the recycling of broken glass is done well, the resource utilization of glass materials can be infinitely close to 100%.
According to statistics, about 33% of domestic glass is recycled and reused, which means that the glass industry removes 2.2 million tons of carbon dioxide from the environment every year, which is equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions of nearly 400,000 cars.
While the recovery of broken glass in developed countries such as Germany, Switzerland and France has reached 80%, or even 90%, there is still a lot of room for domestic broken glass recovery.
As long as a perfect cullet recovery mechanism is established, it can not only reduce carbon emissions, but also greatly save energy and raw materials.
