The Benefits of Recycling Glass *Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt lightbulb for four hours.

*A six pack of recycled beer bottles produces enough fiberglass insulation to fill a standard wall cavity.

*Container glass is 100% recyclable, can be endlessly recycled and is a primary ingredient in fiberglass insulation and new glass containers.
