* Glass: reyclable (either by bringing back the packaging as part of a deposit scheme, or alternatively putting it in the relevant recycling bin)

** Glass is heavier than plastic. This means it produces more emissions in transportation than plastic, and costs more to transport.
+
** Brand new glass requires a lot of energy to produce.
+
** As a result, having a high reuse of glass is paramount to make it a viable alternative to plastic
+
** Deposit is the most efficient way to recycle glass, because in many cases, the bottle can be simply washed and reused, leading to limited carbon impact.

** Recycling in glass bins is the 2nd best way to recycle glass. Glass produced from recycled glass reduces related air pollution by 20% and related water pollution by 50%. Cullet (recycled glass) melts at a lower temperature, and thus takes less energy than brand new glass.
