I am not the brightest with this stuff but I thought glass was supposed to be an environmentally friendly option. How can this be? Why are we switching the lights off to save energy, it all seems a bit pointless.

The furnace I saw in action at Stoelzle Flaconnage uses about 191,000 kWh of energy per day - that's enough to supply the average UK household with energy for 12 years.

Why there's a revolution on the way in glass making

Glass bottle makers are having to invest in new tech to cut their hefty CO2 footprint.

IIRC aluminium cans are considerably better than either glass or plastic bottles.
