About this video
What else could an empty glass bottle become? In the example from New Zealand featured here, used bottles were crushed into a sand-like material. The process prepared the glass for another use.
Sand is used in construction and glassmaking, making the question of where it comes from an important one. Possible applications for recycled glass material include construction and water filtration. Changing the form of a discarded bottle can open a route to using its material again.
