Glass Recycling

Due to the fact that glass can be recycling an unlimited amount of times, it is important that all businesses ensure that they recycle as much glass as possible.

Currently, the UK recycles around 50 percent of glass containers, but lags significantly behind countries such as Switzerland and Finland, who recycle more than 90 per cent of their glass.

Here at Commercial Waste, we are passionate about helping businesses recycle their reusable materials.

Whether glass, paper, metal, electronic equipment, or even food, Commercial Waste is here to assist in all recycling matters.

Throughout the UK, we have a multitude of contacts and business relationships that can help companies recycling their glass while actually lowering their recycling costs.

For more information on how Commercial Waste can help guide your company towards a cheaper and more exciting future contact us.
