Manufacturers benefit from recycling glass in several ways. 

Recycled glass reduces emissions and consumption of raw materials, extends the life of plant equipment, such as furnaces, and saves energy.

• Energy costs drop about 2-3% for every 10% cullet used in the manufacturing process
• In manufacturing, cullet requires less energy to melt than does raw materials and lower temps, extending the lifespan of furnaces and related equipment
• Glass makes better containers because it is non-porous, impermeable and has almost zero rate of chemical interactions
• One ton of carbon dioxide is reduced for every six tons of recycled container glass used in the manufacturing process
• Saves water consumption required for glass manufacturing
