Abstract
This study investigates the current glass recycling practices through the lens of environmental economics and supply chain management. The results of this exploratory study suggest that the closed loop supply chain (CLSC) for recycled glass is highly complex and that many factors besides physical costs play a role in an organisation's decision to recycle glass. Further, despite the prevailing challenges of glass recycling, this study suggests that there are opportunities to divert used glass containers from landfills and improve the CLSC for recycled glass. These and other issues are discussed in this study as they relate to process efficiency and effectiveness in the CLSC for glass recycling.
