Our solutions for recovering and recycling your glasses
The sorting and recycling of glass is mandatory (décret nr. 2021-950 du 16 juillet 2021)
Glass is a 100% recyclable and infinitely recyclable material while it takes 4000 years for glass to degrade in nature !
Sorted, crushed and freed of impurities (labels, corks), the glass will be transformed into cullet before being remelted
1 tonne of cullet reused means 1.2 tonnes of raw materials saved including 700kg of sand
A glass bottle can become a bottle again if it is correctly collected and sorted
Key figures about glass recycling
- 52 million tons of glass collected in France and recycled in 2021 (FEDEREC)
