New glass bottles are made mainly of silica sand. The sand is malted in a furnace, at a
very high temperature. Recycled glass bottles are made in a very similar way, but cost less
and up fewer natural resources.

The process begins when people take their used bottles and jars to a bottle bank. Next, the
bottles and jars are taken by lorry to the recycling plant. At the plant, bottle tops and lids are
removed. After, the glass is crushed into small pieces. The crushed glass is then sent by
lorry to a bottle factory. Here, it mixed with a small amount of silica sand. It is then melted
in a furnace and fed into machinery that makes it into bottles.

Recycled glass is pure and as strong as new glass. Glass can be recycled times without
losing is quality.
