The Benefits of Recycling Glass *Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt light bulb 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.
*Using recycled glass produces 20% less air pollution and 50% less water pollution than glass sourced from raw materials.
