What does it require fresh silica and soda ash when that was already added to the recycled glass?
Comment from : @pauljacksonfxsta

We can't y'know wash it
Comment from : @unit7740

Glass and Metal are the only materials worth recycling
Comment from : @berserkermaniac8697

Glass bottles NEED to make a comeback Better quality, more sustainable, and much more classy It's a win win win
Comment from : @KaraTheGirlie

I wonder how much it would cost to go back to glass
Comment from : @MrWhy6

Not 100 considering the video said they ADDED some more material brbrI guess it's better to use some than all new stuff Lol
Comment from : @FIDreams

Yet we all consume drinks out of plastic that can't be recycled lol Aside from bottles of alcohol like beer
Comment from : @GhostStealth590

Just wash it

Who cares

YOU HEAR THIS, SNAPPLE?
Comment from : @billgamble5717

And im just confused WHY MY RECYCLING TAKES EVERY BIT OF PLASTIC EXCEPT ONE AND INSTEAD OF SEPARATING EVERYTHING THE REFUSE TO TAKE THE GOD DAMN CAN
Comment from : @NicoTheProtogen

If i am grocery shopping and i buy a jar or bottle of something, i will always grab the one in glass any day Was REALLY annoyed when Aldi switched to using plastic for their spaghetti jars guess enough people complained because few months later the glass ones were back :)
Comment from : @mirthenemrys

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THEY DONT EVEN GET CLEANED?
Comment from : @wesleysdnfortnite7106

i remember 20 years ago how there was an issue of people putting in rocks in the bottles and because of that they had to check EVERYTHING it was insane and so stupid of people to just do that because most of the cost of said recycling WAS to check for rocks and other objects
Comment from : @Just_Flipy

Why can’t we just have a sanitize and refill system? Wouldn’t that be cheaper and easier and grinding everything and making new bottles??
Comment from : @TheSchwiz

True recyclable material Not plastic
Comment from : @TheWersum

That's assuming it actually gets separated Most 'recycling' services just toss it in the same dumpbrbrIf your recycling pickup doesn't require you to sort glass, paper, plastics, there's a large chance most of ot doesn't get recycled
Comment from : @ObservationofLimits

Caprecycled glass costs more to remelt than creating new glass I've worked at a bottle factory & its a tiny percentage of the total product #Propaganda
Comment from : @scottyfox6376

I think plastic bottles are so stupid
Comment from : @allq7138

Brigham Young used to feed my ancestors with sacks of flour with crushed glass in them let that sink in
Comment from : @jontwofeathers

Recycling in general is a scam
Comment from : @Chris-p7e9m

Most glass is garbage it’s hard to recycle because of colors
Comment from : @christophermiller8735

Wouldn’t it take a lot less energy to just re-use the glass bottles?
Comment from : @angelamcfadden5741

I thought they shipped em to Puerto Rico
Comment from : @GUELLOX4

All glass has RECYCLED glass in it

It is not the same in every country
Comment from : @ShadowLords43

No I haven't
Comment from : @puzzlejinx

The other process is it doesn't get recycled and ends up in the sea
Comment from : @RadicalCaveman

…literally was not surprised At all…
Comment from : @JB-yr4vd

Bro barehanded a pile of shattered glass
Comment from : @joeswarson4580

Nah, they just throw it in with the rest of the trash and it ends up in a landfill
Comment from : @fren111

I keep mine all to my self
Comment from : @TheGoodCrusader

was not easyier just washing them and reusing?
Comment from : @victorfalcao618

I thought it's also getting washed before it's remelted Now I'm disappointed and a bit disgusted even though I know that the high enough temperatures to melt glass also kill off anything nasty and burn away residue 😅
Comment from : @BunnyLovesBluey

Even though it's breakable I wish a lot of containers went back to glass for this very reason
Comment from : @AgentEric018

So why do we need plastic bottles
Comment from : @kun8817

Mostly it all ends up in landfill Most trash companies don’t care enough to sort and recycle
Comment from : @shutup707

Why not just reuse them
Comment from : @adsheff

isn't silica the raw material of glass? bryou said that they mix the collet with components like silica and soda ash brso they mix it with new glass? brwhat are the ratios of new and recycled glass?
Comment from : @DEMON-ts4qx

Thats a lot of extra costs and environmental empact for a product that has quartz sand as its main raw material Seems like it would be cheaper and better for the environment to just produce new glass
Comment from : @aaron666ism

Sometimes, usually its tossed into lamdfill :(
Comment from : @patrickrichardson2195

Glass may shatter, but at least glass is CHEMICALLY INERT IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND OUR BODIES, unlike forever chemical microplastic pollution we are stuck with now
Comment from : @UnrelatedAntonym

Let’s just ban plastics again
Comment from : @bastard303

Not surprising, no
Comment from : @masteryoda394

they don't separate by color?
Comment from : @IberianCraftsman

No I dont
Comment from : @Gulum-Ei

What about the glass color? We had to sort glass by color when we were kids
Comment from : @sethrice9939

Looks like a lot of effort They should make plastic bottles instead so once you have finished with them you can just biff them out your window
Comment from : @6DunJuan9

We need to go back to glass bottles
Comment from : @brie1987

I miss bottles of glass
Comment from : @jasonmeservey7780

IDK,they usually just fill up with water and sink in my exp
Comment from : @maxdystopia674

So your saying i could be drinking out of a beer bottle and a wine bottle and a water bottle
Comment from : @DefinitelynotJay114

Dude! Wow!!!!! I wish everyone used glass
Comment from : @alylouuu

The old days the bottles were indestructible and were turned back in to be steam cleaned and back into service…what the hell are we doing!
Comment from : @Lakeman3211

fentimans good choice sir!
Comment from : @LittleJohnaton

I wish all food containers were metal or glassbrMicroplastics scare me
Comment from : @observingrogue7652

Most of it in Canada either still gets dumped into a landfill or stuffed in a shipping container and sent to 3rd world countries
Comment from : @lyndonpatey2344

Hands up who would like to scoop broken glass barehanded He did Goose
Comment from : @emanuelmifsud6754

It's more expensive to recycle glass than it is to produce it Most recycling companies throw the glass they receive away

Comment from : @tysont2380

I work at a glass plant that uses to be the largest in the world but is now the 2nd largest, Gallo glass, and yes this is pretty much perfectly accurate And when defective bottles are produced they are immediately returned to cullet
Comment from : @sweetwolfasmraudio6726

Now I want to drink Fentimen's Curiosity Cola!
Comment from : @SergioRivera-kx4sh

Why don't they get sanitized and used again like before plastic was invented? We reuse silverware and plates at restaurants Its already being transported
Comment from : @kevenlee6862

Why don't just clean them?
Comment from : @paradiseisland69

Why they just don't wash them and use the bottles again?!
Comment from : @mehdinejati9144

I must look up that cola
Comment from : @Phoenixdragon288

What's the typical turn-around time from crushed to new bottle?
Comment from : @Belladonna_Soul

This is just so satisfying to watch
Comment from : @jred7

I would say that the better and more efficient way to recycle is for every company to collectively use a universal 12oz or 16oz bottle so that when people turn in their bottles back, they can be sanitized and reused universally, rather than needing to crush them down and use excessive power to melt them again People might say that I’m being a bit silly to want something like that but you can’t deny that it would more efficient just remember that the reason why you buy soda bisnt/b because of the style of the bottle but it’s because of the drink, it’s no different than a soda can, as all soda cans are virtually the same besides the printing

Yea and the god damm trash in the sea
Comment from : @clashmini5917

Until one day , all we have are brown bottles
Comment from : @texasslingleadsomtingwong8751

This is sooooo stupid, 20 years ago they just washed the bottles
Comment from : @Cheva-Pate

Hahaha stfu we ship all that to china or india That right there is the less than 1
Comment from : @ThatOneGuyWithTheEye

Wouldn't it take even less energy if we could recycle the bottle without having to grind it up and melt it all over again?
Comment from : @robcat2075

What percentage of recycling actually gets recycled?
Comment from : @SSgtPayne-jv3qv

I think you may be the one surprised, cause chances are all that recycling is just going to a landfill
Comment from : @AndreJNick

If the glass bottle is intact, why can’t we just sanitize them as a form of recycling instead of creating a whole new bottle?
Comment from : @xanderbose974

more efficient than Plastic

The start of the video looks like an edited version of the JerryRigEverything video about it

Comment from : @Shingodzilla138Xbox

You know if we all start demanding glass and not plastic they'll have to do it it's ridiculous this plastic is nothing more than them being cheap and not caring about our environment glass is endlessly recyclable
