This is how it works in Germany. Lots of their water bottles are made of glass, and end up with textured/worn rings along the bottle; The rings are from where it goes through the recycling machines to get prepped for the next use. The rings mean the bottle has been reused a lot, and has gone through the machines enough to get slightly worn.
Glass
Glass used to be washed and reused. It’s a lot more energy (and therefore greenhouse gases) to melt and reform into whatever.
Perhaps, but it’s 100% reusable as far as I’m aware. It can also be used for other things, such as roads, or even to help plants grow.
