Vetreco receives and recovers material from the separate collection of glass from around 700 municipalities in central and southern Italy with a population of over 9 million inhabitants.<\/p>\n
With the recent change of authorisation, Vetreco is now able to handle 400,000 tonnes of glass waste per year.<\/p>\n
Continuously expanding, Vetreco aims to be a reference point for glass collection and processing for Central Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
HOW OFTEN CAN GLASS BE RECYCLED?<\/span>?<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Glass recycling is a highly environmentally friendly process:the original raw material can be processed and transformed without any loss of quality in the recycled material<\/strong>. For this reason,glass can be recycled an infinite number of times, 100 per cent, without any loss of material.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/vetreco.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/VETRECO_CENTRO_ITALIA.png\" "\\"VETRECO_CENTRO_ITALIA\\"")

Recycling glass is important because it significantly reduces the energy consumption needed to produce this material if it were new.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Recycling glass is highly environmentally friendly; as it is not a biodegradable product, disposing of it in the appropriate bins without dispersing it contributes to maintaining a healthy and clean environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

From a ‘Raw’ cullet, i.e. a waste product mainly coming from separate waste collection to a ‘Ready-to-Bake’ cullet, i.e. a Secondary Raw Material used by glasshouses to replace natural raw materials (natural sand, soda ash, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
