Forty per cent of recycled glass ends up in landfills because mixed or contaminated glass cannot be recycled. In order to decrease waste and protect our planet, it is crucial that 100 per cent of recycled glass is recycled properly. Bottle Bins is a simple yet innovative way to ensure that you are productively recycling. Each bin holds 18 standard spirit or wine bottles, or 48 beers bottles. The bin prevents bottles from breaking and the simple system allows you to sort your bottles by colour to ensure each item does not end up in a landfill. Made of 100 per cent recycled materials, Bottle Bin demonstrates how highly the Beer Store regards environmental initiatives. By making it so convenient, there is no reason to not partake in this green movement. If reducing your environmental footprint isn’t reason enough to recycle, the Beer Store financially compensates those who return bottles with a deposit fund. Reduce waste and landfills by recycling your bottles efficiently with the help of a Bottle Bin and your local Beer Store. www.bringyourbottlesback.com
It’s good that you’re raising awareness – not enough people recycle but then, they don’t often have the facilities to do so. I live in the city and there are very few places near me to recycle – my apartment block should have a bin for recycling but it doesn’t!
