Americans recycle nearly 13 million glass jars and bottles every day. Glass never wears out - it can be recycled forever. Every month, American´s throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper. A glass bottle can take up to one million years to breakdown but the energy saved from recycling one glass bottle can run a 100-watt light bulb for four hours. It also causes 20% less air pollution and 50% less water pollution than when a new bottle is made from raw materials. The production of ECO™ by Cosentino is expected to reuse the equivalent of 60 million glass bottles every year!

Glass containers are 100 percent recyclable, they can be recycled endlessly; and ECO™ by Cosentino. Recycled glass is used as the majority ingredient in new glass containers.

Every ton of glass that is recycled results in one ton of raw materials saved to process new glass, including: 1,300 pounds of sand, 410 pounds of soda ash and 380 pounds of limestone.
