Can waste glass be recycled?

It was discovered that those who recycle the wastes did not accept it, which wrongly led the people to have to throw away the waste glass bottles at home as ordinary garbage. But, do you know? In doing so, waste glass as a renewable resource is not only wasted in large quantities, but also has an impact on the environment.
The main components of ordinary glass are silicon dioxide, calcium silicate and sodium silicate, etc., with very stable chemical properties. The silica is difficult to decompose naturally. Compared with white pollution, which is mainly plastic waste, waste glass products are more difficult to decompose in the natural environment, and cannot be degraded in landfills. Some of them even contain heavy metals such as zinc and copper, which will pollute soil and groundwater. Glass is a non-combustible substance. Once it enters the garbage incinerator, it will soften and adhere to the furnace wall, affecting the incineration efficiency. Therefore, the best way to dispose of waste glass is to recycle it. The waste collectors refuse to accept waste glass, and we can't throw them into the "dry trash" bin! The correct approach is to put in the recyclables collection container set up in the public area of the community. If the community has a two-network integration service site, the recyclables can also be delivered here, and the cleaning staff will sort them into the waste recycling system.
