They feature an animated family at a bottle bank and focus on energy and resource savings from glass recycling. Sandwell Council's neighbourhoods and housing boss, Coun Mahboob Hussain, said: "Glass is a valuable resource to recycle as it can be reprocessed again and again without any effect on its quality and performance. "The majority of recycled glass in the UK - 80 per cent - is used to make new bottles and jars and replacing virgin raw materials with recycled glass in the manufacturing process can give energy savings of over 20 per cent. "This means by placing glass bottles and jars into weekly green box recycling collections or by using bottle banks at local recycling centres we can all help." |
