Some ninety per cent of collected glass bottles and jars are used repeatedly to produce new food grade glass packaging in the closed loop system. Each time a bottle or jar is recycled into new containers, energy and raw materials are also saved and less CO₂ is emitted. By recycling glass, over 12 million tons of raw materials are saved each year and over 7 million tons of CO₂ are avoided - equal to taking 4 million cars off the road. We save 2.5% energy and 5% CO₂ emissions for each 10% of glass recycled in the furnace.
