Glass Recycling
Originally a glass collection company, One World Recycling Ltd has always specialised in glass as our prime material. Container sizes and service frequencies are tailored to our customer's particular needs based on the volume of glass they produce. We collect mixed colour glass bottles, so no need to colour separate the glass.
We gaurentee to beat any genuine quote for a glass recycling service within our collection area.
Once the glass has been collected, it is stored in a designated bay at our business park. From there it is transported to a re-processor where 100% of the glass we have collected is directly reused in the glass bottle container manufacturing industry.
The energy saving from recycling one bottle will:
- Power a 100 watt light bulb for almost an hour.
- Power a computer for 25 minutes.
- Power a colour TV for 20 minutes.
- Power a washing machine for 10 minutes.
Glass Facts:
- One tonne of glass is made of 3000 to 4000 bottles
- Glass never wears out - it can be recycled forever.
- We save over a ton of natural resources for every ton of glass recycled - 1,330 pounds of sand, 433 pounds of soda ash, 433 pounds of limestone, and 151 pounds of feldspar.
- Glass can be recycled again and again without losing its clarity or purity source.
