Recycling 1 ton waste glass bottle can save 10,000 tons

Beer bottles, beverage bottles, and containers containing pickles. When the food in these bottles is consumed, the glass bottles have their mission and are thrown into the trash. However, there is still a huge use value of these wastes. Experts say that recycling one ton of waste glass can save up to 1,000 tons of standard coal, but in this city, the amount of glass currently recycled may be less than half, which means that At the same time, the resource utilization potential of waste glass is huge.

The eye-catching yellow logo is affixed to a green trash can. As the city promotes the implementation of 4-color garbage sorting standards, “Glass” is used as a special recycling garbage, and its green trash bin is also present in this city’s department Within the community. The reporter learned that despite the appearance of such trash bins, many residents have consciously sorted out the glass bottles that had been mixed with living garbage in the past. However, in more communities, there are still many people still Not accustomed to this method of waste sorting, all kinds of glass bottles are either discarded or placed in ordinary garbage.

“In the past year, we have recovered 89,000 tons of waste glass, but in reality, there are more than 100,000 tons of waste glass that are still scattered and cannot be recycled.” This morning, the only state-owned glass recycling company in the city. The person in charge of the factory said. He told reporters that waste glass is a kind of waste that is in poor condition, that is, it can be recycled, but the price of recovery is low, and the cost of recovery is so high that many recyclers are not interested in it. Rather than selling waste newspapers, they are reluctant to sell waste glass. This mentality eventually made the public too lazy to collect glass bottles and mix them together with other garbage.

However, the person in charge of the glass recycling plant stated that due to the huge demand for glass in daily life, it is better to recycle waste glass than to continuously make new glass. The cost difference between the two determines that recycling waste glass is very environmentally friendly. thing. For example, for every 1 ton of glass produced in industry, 1,000 tons of standard coal must be burned and 400 degrees of electricity be used. In addition, 682 tons of quartz sand, 216 tons of soda ash, 214 tons of limestone, and 53 tons of feldspar should be consumed. If the waste glass is recovered and the impurity removal, crushing, and purification processes are performed, the glass can be reused easily and a large amount of resources can be saved.

According to reports, as many as 500 tons of waste glass can be mixed into municipal solid waste every day in the city. If these glasses are not used effectively, they will destroy the waste incinerator at the same time as the waste disposal process; This will lead to a decline in the quality of compost. “But in the future, once the four-color garbage classification standard is promoted, it is believed that the problem of unreasonable utilization of this resource will be solved,” said the person in charge of the City Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Bureau.
