Why stop recycling glass?

• ars 8y ago
  Because it's worthless. Because it contaminates everything else, making it much harder to recycle the other items. Because there's no reason to recycle it, the planet is made of it, we're not going to run out, and it's impossible to waste it. Do you know what they do with recycled glass right now? They crush it, and use it as a landfill cover (instead of sand). There's little point in spending all that effort to do that.

    Interesting. I had no idea. So I guess... just use (and reuse) glass but don't recycle it?
