Glass bottle recycling is a pretty cool process, the “How It’s Made” episode on fiberglass insulation is awesome. They basically crush the bottles and make glass cotton candy out of it. It’s nearly a 100% conversion and it ends up going into creating new housing for people. Basically the best kind of recycling.
