Improper glass recycling can have detrimental effects on both the environment and the health and safety of everyone involved. Depending on how it has been treated before it is put into recycling waste, your glass waste can contain contaminants that make the recycling process difficult and dangerous - contaminants are other materials like food waste and debris. During the recycling process, glass is crushed and melted down - in order to be made into new recycled products it needs to be as pure as possible, otherwise the structural integrity is compromised which could lead to even greater risks such as the glass shattering. Examples of common contaminants mixed in with glass waste is old furniture with wood or metal frames and metal fixings supporting glass surfaces. An unauthorised glass recycling company may not have the expertise and tools necessary to properly treat contaminated glass waste, which can result in inefficient recycling and increased pollution thereafter. Wayst delivers a range of waste management services, we may be able to deliver an alternative recycling solution if you have mixed glass waste to cover all of your bases.

When choosing a qualified glass recycling company to manage your glass waste on your behalf, you need to make sure they can provide you with completed Waste Transfer Notes and recycling reports that document the journey your glass waste takes to the recycling plant. The Waste Transfer Note needs to contain your details as the producer of the waste, the waste carrier (our chosen glas recycling partner) and the glass recycling plant with the relevant license and permit numbers to go along with this. This documentation gives you the transparency and traceability of your glass waste so you can know exactly where it goes after leaving your premises. One of the biggest risks in choosing a waste management company to dispose of your waste on your behalf is fly tipping, or dumping in landfill without proper treatment - both of which can have massively negative impacts on the environment in increasing pollution and the emission of harmful greenhouse gasses. Glass does not decompose naturally, it retains its chemical composition for thousands of years meaning a reliable glass recycling service from Wayst is the best way to dispose of your glass waste - whilst conserving energy in manufacturing new glass, landfill space in saving glass from going to landfill, and reducing the demand for new glass to be manufactured. In choosing to recycle your glass with Wayst, you will have the peace of mind in knowing your glass will be collected safely and securely transported to a plant for proper and efficient recycling.
