Glass can be recycled and re-manufactured an infinite number of times and never wear out.
Making glass from recycled material cuts related water pollution by 50%.
Recycling just one glass jar saves enough electricity to light an 11-watt CFL bulb for 20 hours.
More than 28 billion glass bottles and jars end up in landfills every year—the equivalent of filling up two Empire State Buildings every three weeks.
