they turn the waste glass into tiles
This is delusional. Think about how much heat energy it takes to melt glass to make tiles. There is no way this has a low carbon footprint. I applaud the PR team at Silo for convincing their customer base of this fantasy. The lifetime carbon footprint (from manufacturing to "recycling" / disposal) is much lower for plastic compared to glass. And, I write this post as someone who tries to reduce my plastic footprint as much as possible.
