Every 10% of recycled glass reduces gas consumption by 3%

The lack of glass processing significantly increases the cost of glass products due to the cost of raw materials for their manufacture and leads to clogging of landfills with a huge amount of slag.

In Vinnytsia, you can give the glass for recycling to the company "Eco-Service", according to the company's Facebook page.

This type of raw material can be processed many times. In addition, every 10% of such glass reduces gas consumption by 3%, and as a result of processing there is no waste.

What is recycled:

  • glass bottles of any color;
  • glassware;
  • glass jars;
  • sheets of glass (windows).

Not related to slag or no longer processed:

  • ceramics, mirrors;
  • automobile, tempered and reinforced glass;
  • glass facing tile;
  • TV screens, crystal;
  • glass insulators.

It is possible to hand over a glass for processing in Vinnytsia to the address: st. Lukyanenko, 19 (tel: 0985656904).
