Recycling Ads Backed By Somerset Council

Somerset County Council is backing a new TV advertising campaign encouraging people to recycle more glass bottles and jars. Councillor Hazel Prior-Sankey, Portfolio Holder for Transport and Waste, said: "Glass is a valuable resource to recycle as it can be reprocessed again and again without any effect on its quality and performance". "80% is used to make new bottles and jars and replacing virgin raw materials with recycled glass in the manufacturing process can give energy savings of over 20%".
