South Africa shines bright! The #GlassRecyclingChallenge hits target

Johannesburg – The Glass Recycling Company (TGRC) is thrilled to announce that the #GlassRecyclingChallenge has been a resounding success! South Africans have exceeded expectations, recycling over 140 tons of glass bottles and jars in Gauteng glass banks throughout September. This sparkling achievement demonstrates the powerful impact of community involvement in recycling.

Cheers to Our Recycling Heroes!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated! By dropping off their glass at local banks and sharing their efforts online, South Africans have shown that recycling glass is as simple as it is essential. Your actions have turned the ordinary into extraordinary, proving that recycling is not just a clear choice but a brilliant one.
