A FEW LINES ABOUT RECYCLING

Close the loop            Saving energy               C02 emissions              100% recycled

 

 

 

All these words are becoming more and more popular. Climate change today is a fact.

Vidrios San Miguel decided many years ago that it cared about this as a result of which the decision was made to only produce 100% recycled glass with all the benefits involved.

It is perfectly possible to produce a large range of shapes and colours, offering nearly 25.000 possibilities, with an excellent service, quality and competitive prices , just by recycling glass 100%. By buying our products you close the loop.

The advantages of recycling are enormous compared to other production processes. Global warming has reached a point where every individual action from any person around the world is more than welcomed as it will contribute to reducing the consequences of this phenomena.

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                   

 

Here are a few reasons why recycling is so important             

 

Ø      Recycled glass is melted at a lower temperature and therefore uses less energy.

Ø      By recycling glass you save energy. The saved energy on recycling one single bottle is enough to maintain a 100W light bulb for 4 hours.

Ø      The volume of waste going to landfill is dramatically reduced as well as that which is involved in the illegal and uncontrolled tipping of waste.

Ø      We reduce sand and raw material extraction and avoid the destruction of natural resources.

Ø      On average 1000 recycled bottles corresponds to 1 tonne less of waste going to landfill.

Ø      The air contamination is reduced by 20%  because less energy is needed compared to other kinds of glass

Ø      1 Kg of used bottles equates to one Kg of recycled glass.

Ø      By recycling 1Kg of used glass we save 6 litres of water + 1.2 Kg of natural resources + 20% on energy.

 

 

 

WHY BUY RECYCLED GLASS PRODUCTS

Ø      Buying recycled glass products is part of an overall waste reduction strategy.

Ø      Until materials are made into new recycled content product they are not really recycled.

Ø      When you buy recycled glass you “close the loop “to complete the recycling process.

Ø      You can demonstrate commitment to environmental issues and reduce the volume of material going to landfill by purchasing from diverted and recovered materials.

Ø      Buying recycled glass products conserves natural resources and reduces energy consumption.

Ø      Glass can be recycled repeatedly without any reduction in quality.
