Although there are many different types of glass, only a few types of glass is recycled. I use glass bottles, such as wine or sake bottles, or window glass to make recycled jewellery.
My jewellery is made of:
- Pale Blue - Recycled wine glass bottle
- Olive - Recycled Japanese sake bottle
- Blue - Recycled Japanese sake bottle
- Brown - Recycled beer bottle
- Green - Recycled beer bottle
- Light Yellow - Recycled window glass
What is the glass waste?
Only glass bottles and jars can be placed into the glass recycling bin or co-mingled recycling bin. Drinking glasses, ceramics, plate glass window panels and oven-proof glass have a different melting temperature to glass bottle and. Cannot be recycled.
