Recycling glass helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and decreases the need to extract raw materials such as sand and soda ash.<br />The recycling process involves collecting and sorting glass waste, then melting it down to produce new glass that can be used in various industries such as container manufacturing, household glassware, and windows. This process saves energy and reduces carbon emissions compared to producing glass from raw materials.<br />Promoting glass waste recycling is a crucial step toward achieving environmental sustainability and economic development, while raising public awareness about the importance of conserving natural resources.<br /><br />"Al-Mustaqbal University – The No. 1 Private University in Iraq"<br />
