Glass Recycling Process
Sorting
The glass recycling process begins when glass is sorted based on color. Different chemicals need to be added to take the glass back to a basic color.
Processing
The glass pieces are crushed into tiny pieces of sand like pellets referred to as cullets. Once crushed, the glass goes through the process of removing contaminants such as metal and ceramic pieces.
Melting and Recycling
The last process is to melt the cullets to be used.
