Yes glass is recycled because is expensive. He's broken in pieces, washed and melted
The result is a second quality glass with a darker color but totally usable.

What kind of facilities have you seen do this? Small scale? Large scale?
I know full recycling private facilities where they separate and prepare glass,.plastic, metals and scrap stuff to burn. Glass is then sent to a regular bottle making factory. Both are middle size. The ones I know can recycle trash from about half a million people. I know one of the owners now has 6 facilities and is trying to get some licences to open more.
BTW I am crane and logistic instructor for them sometimes.
I’m looking for local solutions - probably much smaller scale than that! That sounds right for an industrial solution. Thanks for sharing.
