07 April 2025; The Glass Recycling Company (TGRC) is calling on all restaurants, bars, and hotels to elevate their environmental efforts by taking up glass recycling. Restaurants can opt to have a free glass bank installed on their premises or be provided with wheelie bins. This initiative forms part of TGRC’s ongoing endeavour to boost glass collections from the hospitality sector, making a genuine and positive contribution to society.
TGRC champions the transformative power of recycling, which not only conserves natural resources but also forges a sustainable future for South Africa. Glass, infinitely recyclable, maintains its purity and quality through countless cycles. By adopting a glass bank or wheelie bin for their site, hospitality businesses can play a crucial role in ensuring that glass bottles are collected and enter the endless recycling cycle. Glass is infinitely recyclable!
This month, TGRC will spotlight the leading ‘glass guardians,’ establishments that have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to recycling glass. These trendsetters are not just recycling; they are crystallising change, inspiring their peers and communities to follow suit. They exemplify true environmental heroism, proving that collective action can culminate in significant ecological benefits. Restaurant patrons are often proud to support sustainable restaurants as modern consumers are often eco-savvy.
How to get your restaurant, bar, or hotel involved:

The public-relations experts believe that human beings fear silence – that is, the absence of constantly imposed direction.
