This World Environment Day, discover how Beatson Clark's onsite recycling plant transforms glass waste into high-quality cullet, ready to become new bottles and jars. Beatson Clark supply us with our very popular Hexagonal range, amongst other things.
Glass has long been considered one of the most sustainable packaging materials available, but what really makes the difference is how it’s recycled.
At Beatson Clark’s onsite glass recycling plant, they process approximately 44,000 tonnes of used glass each year, feeding it straight back into production.
Many manufacturers rely on external recycling supply chains, where glass waste is transported away for processing before eventually returning as a raw material. At Beatson Clark, they work differently.
By processing the majority of the recycled glass onsite, they can manage the journey from waste to furnace within a single, controlled system. This reduces the need for additional transport and gives much closer control over material quality throughout the process.
