Recycled glass is being turned into a silicon-rich soil additive that farmers say is improving crop growth while creating a new use for millions of discarded...
Would not have anticipated this would be a good idea.
just because glass can be used in this way does not mean all glass must be recycled in this way. First, reuse systems aren’t perfect. In Germany, apparently glass is directly re-used, but some must as a matter of course just break or become too degraded to continue to use. In Australia, we just don’t have the systems necessary to reuse glass this way, but that still doesn’t mean the most efficient reuse is the only acceptable option.
