🌍♻️ Today, on #GlobalRecyclingDay, let's stress the crucial role recycling plays in reducing emissions from the flat glass industry.   Recycling is a priority in our 2024-2029 #Manifesto because the benefits are many: 🏭Reduction of raw material: Increasing the amount of old and broken glass in the furnaces, helps limit the use of virgin raw materials. ⚡ Energy Savings: Recycling flat glass uses less energy than manufacturing new glass from raw materials. It requires lower temperatures in the melting process, resulting in significant energy savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. 🗑 Waste Reduction: The amount of waste sent to landfill is reduced, minimising environmental pollution and landfill congestion.   Closed-loop recycling is the way to go, listen to industry leaders explain why here➡ https://lnkd.in/ejMPKjDR    #EnableSustainableTransformation #FlatGlassToFlatGlass #ClosedLoop #Sustainability
