Of course there's no difference. Glass is one of the most recyclable materials there is.
As long as it hasn't been coloured I believe.
This might seem like a dumb question but couldn't you burn the color out during the recycling process?
It's metal ions. You can compensate for iron with manganese, but you'll still get a grayish glass with reduced transmission.
This makes sense. Thank you
"Burning it out" still leaves contamination. You need to remove it.
No processes to get the coloring out?
