Glass bottle

Composition

A glass bottle is made entirely of glass, an inorganic material obtained by melting quartz sand, soda, and limestone at high temperatures.

Environmental impact

Glass is a material that can be fully recycled an unlimited number of times without loss of quality. Recycling glass bottles saves energy, reduces the amount of waste in landfills, and reduces CO2 emissions.

Disposal instructions

Empty the bottle of its contents and rinse it with water. Remove the cap from the bottle as it is disposed of in a separate container depending on the material. Glass bottles that are not in the deposit refund system are disposed of in a glass container or at a recycling yard.

Factoid

A glass bottle takes up to 4000 years to decompose in nature.
