Glass bottles can be re-used as is (like ~20..50 roundtrips or so in consumer <-> supermarket context), before recycling even comes into the picture.

- petre 2y agoYes but they're heavy and generate CO2 from transportation. During communism we used to recycle all food and drink glass containers, but one would only get a few glass shapes and a few jar shapes. They only took back the containers clean and without labels. Most of the work was washing off the paper labels and bone glue. Kids were earning ice cream money doing the cleaning and recycling.
