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.
@goodthanks @disguy_ovahea wait till you hear what happens to it after it’s collected to be sent to China.
People still talk about the time it all went to landfill anyway after this kind of political fuck-up
