Glass Facts and figures

  • Glass bottles were originally made by hand-blowing them into different shapes.  They have only been made by machines for the last hundred years or so.
  • The largest furnaces used to make glass can produce more than 400 tonnes of glass a day – that's more than one million bottles and jars each day!
  • The average glass bottle contains over 25% recycled glass.
  • Glass bottles are up to 30% lighter today than they were ten years ago – this saves energy and raw materials.
