5 Reasons why it is important to recycle your glass containers:

1. Glass can be recycled forever without losing its purity or strength as the major ingredient in new glass containers.
2. Glass is made from natural materials like sand and has a low rate of chemical reaction with the contents of the container, which makes it a safe material to be reused.
3. A glass container can go from your recycling bin to a store shelf in as little as 30 days.
4 The energy saved from recycling one ton of glass saves the equivalent of 10 gallons of oil, cuts related air pollution by up to 20% and water pollution by 50%.
5. A glass bottle can take approximately 500 years to completely breakdown.
