Experience the different stages in glass recycling in this explorable scene.
Glass can be recycled again and again with no loss in quality of the product, saving both raw materials and the higher energy need of producing glass for the first time. See the series of conveyor belts and big machines that the glass travels through as it is washed, crushed into small pieces and melted, before being made into new bottles and jars for the food and drink industry.
