Just looking at one of our products shows you how you can make a difference once you start considering its’ journey. A simple, £18 recycled glass vase has a whole environmental story to tell!
Just choosing recycled glass over newly made glass means that;
- You are supporting constant recycling. Glass can be recycled over and over with no loss to its’ quality or usefulness.
- You are saving energy. Recycling glass used 40% less energy than producing new.
- You are cutting pollution. The recycling process reduces air pollution by 20% and water pollution by 50%.
- You are saving space in landfill. Glass takes over a million years to break down, but only 30 days to recycle.
- You are conserving raw materials. Every ton of glass that is recycled saves over a ton of the raw materials needed to make new.
So our useful, £18 recycled glass vase – with it’s beautiful bubbled texture and pale green tint – has a lot to say about making your home a bit more eco friendly. It’s a simple thing, but it helps.
