The glass gets sent to China for use as hardcore, at a massive cost in
CO2 emissions.


Much of the recycling is not CO2 effective. Add also the environmental
cost of people transporting glass to the collection points in cars.

As I've posted before people sort glass into the various colours, place
in in the nominated bins and then the truck comes along and it ALL gets
mixed up in the same load back to the 'recycling' plant.
