With the consumers putting more and more pressure on retailers to produce eco-friendly alternatives, we see great innovations emerge onto the market like jeans made of plastic bottles and solar-powered electronic devices.
Recycling glass keeps it out of the landfill and conserves natural resources as well as energy. So it’s great to see more and more ideas emerge of how we can use recycled glass to make new products. Reclaimed glass has been used now to create gorgeous jewellery like earrings and necklaces, candle companies use recycled wine bottles for their outer packaging and mosaic tiles for kitchens and bathrooms can now be made from 99% recycled material.
Let’s hope this trend becomes the norm and that our first thought is always to re-use & recycle before throwing away precious resources.
