Recycling suitability depends on the type or chemical composition of the glass. Soda-lime bottles, for example, can be recycled at a standard facility.However, you should not dispose of borosilicate laboratory glass bottles (DURAN / WHEATON /KIMBLE KIMAX) in normal bottle banks. This is because their high melting point can create problems when mixed with other glass cullet (soda-lime glass) for recycling. Instead, the customer is responsible for correct disposal, which is with the general household waste (residual waste) following the relevant guidelines and regulations.Setting up a dedicated recycling system only for borosilicate glass types is not economical. Its market is relatively small, typically consisting of laboratory glassware, some special lighting products, and glass cookware.
