The company has a group of cooperation teams engaged in the Perfume Bottle industry for many years, with dedication, innovation spirit and service awareness, and has established a sound quality control and management system to ensure product quality.
We need every household in Perth and Kinross to collect their glass bottles and jars, to recycle at local Recycling Centres or Points. Put a reusable bag, plastic tub or cardboard box to one side at home to collect your empty glass coffee jars, glass jam jars, glass condiment jars, glass sauce bottles, glass beer bottles or glass wine bottles, then visit our Find my nearest recycling centre or point page to find your nearest Glass Recycling Point.
Recycling Points are often located at community halls, supermarkets, car parks, etc so it's easy to fit in a stop at a Glass Recycling Point with other day-to-day activities such as the school run, going to work or doing the food shop. Plus there are several Mini Glass Recycling Points in housing estates across Perth and Kinross, to make it even easier to recycle.
Please note that other types of glass (such as perfume or cologne bottles, make-up jars and glass cookware such as Pyrex jugs and glass oven-to-tableware) cannot currently be recycled and therefore must be disposed of in the general waste bin (wrapped in a bit of newspaper or bubble-wrap ideally) because it's usually toughened glass so it can't be melted down in the recycling process with food and beverage glass bottles and jars. Also, things like perfume and cologne bottles are often a mixture of glass, plastic and metal and the glass is often a different colour to food and beverage bottles and jars.
Over the last few months, we've seen an increase in the amount of glass bottles and jars being dumped in the general waste bin, for sending to landfill. But did you know that by recycling your glass bottles and jars, you can help save resources and reduce climate change? Glass is a valuable resource which can be recycled over and over again without losing quality. By recycling it, you're helping to save the energy needed to mine and transport raw materials and also the energy needed to then manufacture new glass bottles and jars. The Waste Services Team is monitoring the amount of glass bottles and jars diverted for recycling - we hope that, with your help, we can save more glass bottles and jars from landfill to increase the amount being recycled.
Watch our Glass Recycling Video about glass bottles Bonnie and Barry who want to encourage everyone to recycle glass bottles and jars from Perth and Kinross. They explain the resources used to make new bottles and jars, and the recycling journey from the Glass Recycling Banks in Perth and Kinross to be sorted at the Recycling Facility in Motherwell then sent on to be melted down and made into new bottles and jars, then re-filled and back on the shop shelf within 30 days.
