It’s not the pollution of glass that’s as much a concern as the lack of materials. The world is running out of sand.

Glass recycles back into glass. Just gotta quit putting it in the landfill.

Yup. That’s what I’m getting at. The problem isn’t how discarded glass directly impacts the environment. It’s far less hazardous than most refuse. The concern is discarded glass won’t be recycled, requiring more new production.

Australia sucks at recycling. When I lived in Germany the residential streets had separate bins for green, brown and clear glass. So it can be recycled while maintaining quality. Separating waste is a matter of social conscience.
