♻️Please always make sure your glass bottles and jars are before throwing them in the recycling bin. This will help to avoid contamination in the recycling stream.

📈The glass industry appreciates your efforts as clean glass bottles in the recycling bin can become clean quality cullet for them to use in their manufacturing. Having access to a clean quality supply of cullet also means U.S. manufacturers can increase their recycled content.

We've all been there. We wishfully recycle materials in our local bins or public containers and walk away feeling good 😬

It's important that materials are and that everyone follows the rules for recycling materials at each drop site to avoid contamination.

Avoiding contamination ensures the container glass can be processed into a high quality cullet that will keep the glass in the circular economy 🌎

"Also known as National Recycling Day, this day began in 1994 after 2 employees of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality suggested the idea to the National Recycling Coalition. The first America Recycles Day was officially held on November 15, 1994, and had over 40 states taking part." - Keep America Beautiful

✨ When they ask 𝙒𝙃𝙔 glass needs to be collected in recycling collection programs.✨
👉 Lower contamination rates mean increased recovery rates.
👉 Increased recovery rates mean US glass manufacturers can use more recycled glass in their process.
