Also the coloring of glass is very important. Clear glass has value, while green and brown tinted glass has much less value. “Glass recycling” takes all forms

Also the coloring of glass is very important.
Clear glass has value, while green and brown tinted glass has much less value.
“Glass recycling” takes all forms though, so now you have to sort optically, which has mixed results, or settle for “all recycled glass is now going to be brown glass”
That doesn’t even get into the part of how dangerous broken glass can be for workers along the recycling supply chain.
I don’t know if it’s worthwhile to recycle glass or not, but I do know it should be questioned rather than assumed to be an absolute benefit.
