“Ever wondered where glass containers come from, how they're made, and how we as consumers can make sure they're properly recycled? Join British Glass and Friends of Glass as we take you through each facility, explaining how effective glass recycling can lead to a true circular economy of glass within the UK. From recycling, to melting, to moulding and filling, we show you how your recycled glass container can be back on the shop floor ready for purchase within just 30 days.”
British Glass has produced an informational video on the lifecycle of a glass container. The focus is on the current and future sustainability of the glass industry, with a focus on educating the consumer on recycling. This was filmed with the involvement of the trade body members Beatson Clark and Encirc, as well as local farm shop Cannon Hall Farm in Cawthorne, Yorkshire.
