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.
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.
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.
Ø We recycle approximately
100 tonnes of glass a day.
Ø We employ more than
300 people.
Ø We contribute to all the
environmental aspects and care about nature
Ø We create good quality
attractive trendy items at competitive prices.
Ø We fulfil all the
aspects of the
Ø We close the loop with
100% recycled glass.
