What *REALLY* happens to 'Recycled' Glass?! - (you might be surprised)


I apologize for the clickbait video and post title today. I didn't write it and am typically loathe to reward anybody who does by pointing out their video.

Today's video tracks us through a glass recycling facility from breaking up the glass, sorting the metal caps and paper labels from the bottles, separating the different colors of glass via optical scanner, and then reusing the glass into glass insulation. 

Every step seems so simple, and the host even points out that human hands rarely touch the glass on the way through the sorting and recycling factory. That's impressive to me.
