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

Actually it gets used to make glass fibre insulation.


Some.

How much glass fibre did you use last year?
How many glass bottles did you throw away?

I'll bet the second was an order of magnitude greater than the first

But if you are a commercial new build, I suspect it is not

There's a 330,000 sq. ft. new unit not far away - all the insulation is
(labelled) as wool - not many bottles in that, I hope.

just because some commercial new builds aren't insulated with glass fibre
products, doesn't negate the fact that those that do are using up more than
their own quantity of previously "consumed" glass containers.
