Another difficulty is that toughened glass used for cooking does not fully melt at the temperature required for other glass,
另一個問題是做飯用的鋼化玻璃與其他玻璃在同一溫度下不能完全融化，
and so that also has to be picked out by hand.
所以也得用手將它們挑出。
Glass is easy to recycle because it can be reused over and over again without becoming weaker.
玻璃易于循環(huán)利用，因為它可以一次次的重復使用、很堅固。
Two million tons of glass is thrown away each year, that is, seven billion bottles and jars; but only 500.000 tons of that is collected and recycled.
每年有200萬玻璃被丟棄，也就是說有70億的瓶子、罐子，但是只收集利用到50萬。
Oddly enough, half the glass that's collected is green, and a lot of that is imported, so more green glass is recycled than the UK needs.
奇怪的是，收集到一半的玻璃是綠色的，并且多數(shù)是進口玻璃，所以綠色玻璃的循環(huán)利用超過了英國所需。
As a result, new uses are being developed for recycled glass, particularly green glass, for example in fibreglass manufacture and water filtration.
結(jié)果發(fā)展出了再生玻璃的新用途，特別是對綠色玻璃而言，例如玻璃纖維制造和濾水設(shè)備。
A company called CLF Aggregates makes a product for roads, and 30% of the material is crushed glass.
一家叫做CLF Aggregates的為道路提供產(chǎn)品的公司用到了30%的細碎玻璃作為材料。
For recycling paper, Britain comes second in Europe with 40%, behind Germany's amazing 70%.
對于再生紙的利用，英國以40%的利用率位于歐洲的第二位，次于德國驚人的70%的利用率。
When recycling started, there were quality problems, so it was difficult to use recycled paper in office printers.
循環(huán)利用會產(chǎn)生質(zhì)量問題，所以再生紙難以用在辦公室打印機上。
But these problems have now been solved, and Martin's, based in South London, produces a range of office stationery which is 100% recycled,
但是現(xiàn)在這些問題已經(jīng)解決了，位于倫敦南部的馬丁公司用100%的再生系統(tǒng)生產(chǎn)了大量的辦公文具，
costs the same as normal paper and is of equally high quality.
它們與普通紙的價格一樣，都具有高品質(zhì)。
