Recycle glass and keep the endless cycle of recycling alive. 

We believe that every day, we should strive to become a better version of ourselves – because our actions, no matter how small, impact on this planet we call home. It doesn’t have to be complicated: even small efforts like recycling can help to reduce the impact we each have. Here are three simple steps you can take to improve your recycling game and inspire others to join you:  

Information is key 

Knowledge is power when it comes to recycling. Take the time to learn how recycling works in your city and the types of glass you can recycle. 

Recycle more and better 

Make a conscious effort to recycle more, and do it better each time. Not only does it save precious resources, but it keeps the endless cycle of glass alive. 

Lead by example  

Whether at home, school, or work, speak up! Make recycling look easy, and you inspire others to live more intentionally in turn. 

See how we’re bringing people together on this recycling journey

From a bottle to a perfume flacon to a jar, the recycling journey of glass is an endless cycle full of potential. When you recycle glass, it can take on new shapes, colours, and even purposes. Glass is a permanent material that can be recycled over and over again without losing its qualities – and you can make it live on. So help us create a future where we recycle every last bottle.
