Jars - Glass

Disposal Options

  • Empty Glass Jars - Donate/Reuse

  • Lids (Metal/Plastic) Diameter Greater than 8 cm - Recycling Bin

 

Why

Glass jars are 100% recyclable. If the lid (metal or plastic) has a diameter smaller than 8 cm it should be placed in the General Waste bin. Recycling glass saves energy and raw materials compared to producing new glass from sand. Reusing jars further reduces waste and extends their life before recycling is needed.

 

Did You Know

Glass can be recycled endlessly without losing its quality, this means your old jar could become a brand-new jar over and over again.
