  2. Receive, drink and enjoy
  3. Place empty bottles back in original box and lightly seal
  4. When we deliver your next order we pick up the old box containing the empty bottles

GLASS RECYCLING FACTS

  • Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper. All of these glass bottles and jars are recyclable.
  • Nearly 7 % of household waste in the UAE consists of glass and if we can divert this 7 % away from our bins the pressure on landfill sites and our natural resources will be greatly reduced.
  • The energy saved from recycling one glass bottle can run a 100-watt light bulb for four hours or a compact fluorescent bulb for 20 hours. It also causes 20% less air pollution and 50% less water pollution than when a new bottle is made from raw materials.
  • A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill
  • Recycled glass is used to make new bottles and jars, and the energy requirement in the furnace for this process is greatly reduced. Taking into account the logistics and processing, a net saving of 315kg of CO2 per tonne of glass melted is achieved. Also for every tonne of recycled glass used, 1.2 tonnes of precious raw material is preserved.
