Recycling glass instead of making it from Silica Sand reduces mining waste by 70%, water use by 50%, and air pollution by 20%. Using a glass crusher at a business or recycling center to process jars, bottles, and other glass that would normally end up in the trash starts this process. Small glass crushers can turn glass into 1-2” cullet suitable for transportation as the density is increased by over 90%. Larger glass crushers can turn glass into instantly recyclable end product as small as 100 mesh – sand particles.
