Im sorta suprised about the sorting the glass bottles by colour. Unless they start regulating the type of glass into just one sort/grade or glass for each colour.
Like theres probably 20 different types of green glass. Unless there isnt or that the shade consistancy doesn't matter between glass batches.
Or they intend to introduce just one single shade of green ( or brown or clear) for everybody.
I dunno.
In my area the glass is seperated out from the recycling bins, but they have huge piles of mixed glass in different places just waiting untill they can recycle it ( i doubt that that will happen)
or they can single landfill it somewhere ( most likely )
In other areas ( different island ) they do recycle it somehow.
Plastic bottles? The 1.25 & 2 litre clear bottles are getting recycled into house insulation here at the moment.
The Goverments just introduced laws requiring all rental houses to be insulated properly so theres been a big demand for roof & underfloor insulation & plastic sheet on the soil under the house for damp.
Our houses are very poorly insulated compared to American houses. We dont have plywood sheet under the roofing or outside walls under the brick or weatherboards.
No underfloor insulation & no basements, often no wall insulation. We use glass fibre insulation here. Not rockwool.
Our temps go from minus -4°C during the winter, up to around +35°C during summer.
The South island is colder with drier air. While the North island is more humid & warmer.
