GLASS – Possible to recycle Infinitely

Glass is a non-crystalline, often transparent, amorphous solid that has widespread practical, technological, and decorative application.


Glass is a material that can be recycled indefinitely without losing any quality. It can be melted down and transformed into a variety of products, from glass fibre to drinking glasses. Glass is taken to a manufacturing or recycling plant, where it is broken down into smaller pieces called cullet which can be re-manufactured to new recycled glass products.

Benefits of Recycling Glass

  • Glass produced from recycled glass reduces related air pollution by 20% and related water pollution by 50%.
  • Recycling glass reduces the space in landfills that would otherwise be taken up by used bottles and jars.

How does Glass Recycling protect the Environment?

It may take up to a million years for a glass product to decompose after being disposed of in a landfill.

Glass products and materials are 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without losing their purity or quality. Every ton of glass that is recycled saves more than a ton of the raw materials needed to create new glass, which only necessitates the extraction of less natural resources like sand, limestone, and soda ash from the environment. Glass scraps are crushed into cullet, which can be melted down and utilized to create new glass items, promoting the circular economy.

How are textiles/fabrics recycled?

Textile/fabric recycling is the reprocessing of the non-usable fabric to a usable form. Overall fabric waste has risen sharply due to the expansion of the clothing and textile industries as well as the fast fashion trend among consumers. Globally, the fashion industry pumps out 100 billion garments annually.

Yet only 12% of used textiles or clothes are mechanically recycled (cutting or shredding into fibers), and​ less than 1% is chemically recycled back to reusable raw materials. 87% of unwanted clothes are thrown and sent to landfills

Why should we recycle textile/fabrics?

Natural fibers might take several weeks to several years to degrade in landfills. Most of the clothing made of synthetic fibers, comprises of plastic which might take years, or may never totally decompose. These will also emit CO2 and methane gas into the atmosphere when left in landfills and eventually be the cause of environmental deterioration.

Types of Textiles waste that can be recycled:

  • Pre-Consumer textile waste and post-consumer textile waste
  • Pre-Consumer Textile Waste: By-products of yarn and fabric manufacture
  • Post-Consumer Textile Waste: Includes garments, vehicle upholstery, carpets, towels, bedding, purses and more

Benefits of textile/fabrics recycling

Recycling of textile/fabrics waste will recover the re-usable raw materials that can be used as raw materials for creating new clothes and thereby promoting a circular economy.

The recycling strategies of upcycling and closed-loop recycling can best conserve resources including raw materials, water and energy while having a minimal negative impact on the environment.

Recycling clothes reduces the factors that contribute to climate change because when they are disposed of in landfills, they produce greenhouse gasses.

Therefore, recycle your old clothes and give them a second chance. This way we are all doing our bit in supporting a circular economy.
