The circular economy of bottle glass
Most used bottle glass is recycled by glass container factories to make new bottles. However, the portion of used glass that cannot be recycled, known as waste cullet, is generally sent to landfill.
The Cool South mission is to take the waste cullet and repurpose it into many useful products. This has great environmental benefits in that landfill space is not used up. Furthermore, bottle glass is an amazing product and can replace silica sand in many applications. This can reduce the use of silica sand which is a mined product. We need to conserve our landscapes and reduce sand mining to help conserve the planet.
