Glass can be endlessly recycled without compromising its quality. Throughout history, there has been a tradition of reusing and recycling materials in construction, dating back to the Roman Empire, which implemented regulations regarding demolition practices. Traditionally, the recovery of demolition materials has been driven by the need to meet material demand and reduce fabrication costs.<br><br><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eocengineers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Viewpoint-Returning-glass-to-the-supply-chain.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.eocengineers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Viewpoint-Returning-glass-to-the-supply-chain.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the full article<\/a><\/strong> to explore <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eocengineers.com\/about-us\/our-team\/graham-coult\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.eocengineers.com\/about-us\/our-team\/graham-coult\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Graham Coult<\/a><\/strong> and Rebecca Hartwell&#8217;s investigation into improving glass recycling, reuse and their suggested actions for the construction industry to support this goal, including Eckersley O&#8217;Callaghan&#8217;s launch of  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glazingrecovery.org\/coming_soon\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.glazingrecovery.org\/coming_soon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glazingrecovery.org<\/a><\/strong> to support glazing recovery. <br><br><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eocengineers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Viewpoint-Returning-glass-to-the-supply-chain.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.eocengineers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Viewpoint-Returning-glass-to-the-supply-chain.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Returning glass to the supply chain | thestructuralengineer.org<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Architectural flat glass is a high value material but typically has a 25-30 year design life and therefore must be replaced at least once over a building\u2019s lifespan.
