So wrecycle's comments are bit off-target. In fact, here's a great video on how glass is recycled. http://www.glassisback.com/2011/05/10/video-how-glass-is-recycled/<br /><br />Our bottles are made with a minimum of 75% post-consumer recycled glass with zero plastic. As our founder and artist has been working in glass in 30+ years, so I wanted to help clear it up!<br /><br />Thanks again! <br />Jenny Schmitt<br />BottlesUp Glass<br />www.bottlesupglass.com<br />@glassisback<br />www.glassisback.comJen Schmitthttp://www.glassisback.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158563189960364644.post-68863562929388871542011-09-11T17:17:17.130+02:002011-09-11T17:17:17.130+02:00Very informative post.

But since its single stream a lot of the glass gets contaminated with paper etc. This creates problems for the sorting technology. Then when you add the liquid that is still in many of the bottles it becomes even stickier. It's a tricky little piece of material. Recycling programs have to do a better job of educating the public.wrecylcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284384827464676215noreply@blogger.com
