With the small size of the UK it might make it easier to recycle. In larger countries glass might not always be recycled, it might cost more to recycle than to just produce new glass. The transportation cost/impact to lug around heavy glass to be recycled is not worth it.
- infecto 2y agoI don't know why this was downvoted but this is absolutely a fact in places like America. You may want to feel all fuzy that you are recycling glass but unless you are geographically near a glass production plant, your glass most likely ends up in the landfill. It does not make economic sense to truck crushed glass around the country, there are not a large number of plants making glass.
