Friends of Glass has learned that they have recently signed a 15-year agreement with West Yorkshire-based processor Reuse to increase glass recycling by investing in new colour-sorting technology<\/p>\n<p>This new technology enables much better recovery of glass as it begins its recycling journey , for example glass particles as small as 4mm can now be successfully separated by colour, as compared with only 10mm previously.<\/p>\n<p>As Sharon Crayton, head of marketing at Ardagh Glass, Europe explains \u201cWe have\u00a0been producing green bottles that contain over 90 per cent recycled glass for many years, but high recycling levels for clear (flint) glass have previously posed a challenge due to difficulties in colour separating\u00a0 clear glass back to a pure enough colour for reuse. \u00a0This new technology helps us to significantly increase the recycled content for clear bottles and jars\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget, you can help turn old bottles and jars into new ones too. Just drop off your empties at the nearest glass bank and pop them into the right colour-coded holes. It can take just 30 days to transform <span style=\"color: #000000;\">this old glass into new bottles and jars on the store shelf.<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As all our Friends of Glass know, 100 per cent recyclability is one of the brilliant benefits of glass and we are always happy to hear about companies who are helping ensure more of it gets recycled every day.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":547,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[101],"class_list":["post-189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environment","tag-glass-recycling-gb"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
