[[Glass]] is a resource that can be continuously recycled without a decline in quality. The four main constituents of glass are sand, soda ash, limestone and other additives for colour or special treatments, these materials are not in shortage but the quarrying required to obtain them is energy-intensive and has consequential environmental impacts<ref name="foo">Recyclenow, 2019.

A large proportion of glass is considered [[Packaging Waste]] and the [[Package Recovery Note]] target required is sub-divided into a remelt target to ensure glass has a higher financial incentive to go into a remelt use than a 'lower value' aggregate use. | A large proportion of glass is considered [[Packaging Waste]] and the [[Package Recovery Note]] target required is sub-divided into a remelt target to ensure glass has a higher financial incentive to go into a remelt use than a 'lower value' aggregate use. | ||
