Glass Recycling in South Africa: A Good example!

The website below shows a CEO talking about a company that recycles glass and is managing to do the recycling of glass packaging in a way that has consequently increased from 18% to 40%, in five years, this kind of recycling.

The company invested in a marketing tactic with the help of another company, TGRC.
TGRC installed over 2000 glass banks in 2006 and provided an SMS service for people to know the nearest bank to their region. Moreover, TGRC helps in education of children about recycling.

South African glass recycling rates are coming close to the ones in Brazil and Australia

It is a nonprofit corporation that manages donations to purchase some glasses manufacturers, and manufacturers have invested more than R320,000,000.00 in colors processing plants that automatically break the glass by color. This has made it easier for consumers to dispose of the glass because there isn't the need for glass to be separated into the three colors. Returnable glass bottles can be reused at least 21 times before they have to be sent for recycling.
