post-consumer glass

Post-consumer glass refers to used glass products, such as bottles and jars, that have been consumed by customers and discarded as waste. This glass is collected through recycling programs and processed to be reused in manufacturing. Recycling post-consumer glass helps reduce environmental impact by saving raw materials, decreasing energy use, and minimizing landfill waste. The glass is typically cleaned, crushed into small pieces called cullet, and melted down to create new glass products. Using recycled post-consumer glass supports sustainability efforts and promotes a circular economy by giving waste a new life as actual products again.
