Growth in volume of recycled glass bottles

The num­ber of re­cy­cled glass bot­tles is on the in­crease in Cat­alo­nia. Last year, the num­ber rose by 7.5% com­pared to data for 2017, the biggest year-on-year rise in the last decade. Some 162,295 tonnes of glass were col­lected in green con­tain­ers, rep­re­sent­ing an av­er­age of 21.4 kilos per in­hab­i­tant, or around 81 items. José Manuel Núñez, CEO of Ecovidrio, a com­pany re­spon­si­ble for re­cy­cling, said it is the re­sult of “the ad­min­is­tra­tions’ long-term com­mit­ment to waste man­age­ment.”
