Recycling of glass in Croatia

Glass recycling is the process of turning waste glass into usable products. Glass is an ideal material for recycling and in some cases can be used repeatedly without any deterioration in its physical properties. There are several types of glass entering the waste stream each with different chemical compositions and physical properties. Recycling of complex material such as a glass is a simple but hugely beneficial process which consists of several steps. The complete recycling loop can be repeated an infinite number of times and the quality of the glass will never deteriorate.
