Packaging recycling

How to dispose of glass bottles and jars.

Bottle glass is commonly collected separately. Mirrors, ceramics, drinking glasses and heat-resistant glass often follow different routes.

Recommended route

Glass collection container or a local recycling stream that accepts packaging glass.

Before disposal

  1. Empty containers
  2. Remove obvious contamination
  3. Separate lids if the local operator requests it

Avoid

Do not mix mirrors, ceramics or drinking glasses with bottle glass unless the operator explicitly accepts them.
