《玻璃再生璀璨》是一項結合社區環保教育和廢物回收的計劃。意識和再用（行動）是一個銅錢的兩面。透過設計不同的活動向目標對象傳遞環保的要義，催生和強化意識。為促使意識落實成生活，回收、再用和循環再用玻璃的體驗是必不可少的配合活動。項目旨在改變目標對象對廢玻璃的現有態度，並透過再用再生，使玻璃的價值得以還原，減少自然資源的消耗和堆填區的壓力，節約能源減少排碳，同時促推進環保教育在社區廣傳和深化。
香港泥頭車司機協會接觸的是每天運載建築及拆卸廢料和家居垃圾的前線操作員。在傾倒的物料中，見到不少可以循環再用的資源被棄置，感到非常可惜，覺得需要在環保工作上出一份力。現就嘗試由缺乏回收市場的廢玻璃酒樽開始，盼藉此促使同業、運輸界和香港居民珍惜地球資源，在生活行動起來，更促使玻璃的光輝繼續璀璨！
香港玻璃回收雖然滯後，但竟有環保玻璃磚的生產。我們相信只要多開拓玻璃再生產業的市場，廢玻璃便大有作為。然而，循環再用的市場問題，似乎又回歸到社區教育的課題，當消費者的意識提升，便會樂於使用循環再用的環保磚和玻璃產品。透過是次項目，目標對象將認識玻璃的特質，對玻璃產生新的想像，玻璃的價值便可以確立，市場商機便隨之而來。
我們擇選四個社區作為是項計劃的目標對象，但相信這個《玻璃再生璀璨》的例子，可以觸發全港市民對「廢物」的再思。他們分別為載運廢料的司機、運輸業界、灣仔和酒吧老闆/職員/顧客、一個屋苑居民。 我們選擇酒吧，因哪裡酒樽集中，同時酒樽是最簡單回收作為環保玻璃磚的生產。此外，我們需要教育並給予酒吧老闆職員及顧客回收酒樽的機會，減少浪費。屋苑居民乃是一個居民教育和回收的案例，成功與否，會是同類項目和活動的一個借鏡典範。

recycle bins for glass bottles are needed!!
april says:
June 15, 2010 at 3:03 pm
At the moment, there are no street corner bins for glass. We applied street locations for bins but it was not successful.
The greenglass project will collect wine bottles at the point where bins are provided during the collection hours.
Please take note of the coming announcement.
There are glass bins exhibited at the Greenglass kick off launch, would you come and join us?
27 June 2010 (Sunday) at Lockhart Rd Playground

We’ll have a pilot collection at a private estate in east Island. This is the experiences we need to articulate for the next phrase

Please advise the weight of the recycled glass since the programme commencement and let us know how many pubs/bars are participated in your programme.

I suggest to have a collection point in Soho (which refers to Hollywood Road, Staunton Street and Elgin Street along the pedestrian escalator to the Mid-Levels) where numerous bars and restaurants are located. In addition, the expats and the locals staying in the neighbourhood use to bring waste paper and aluminum cans to the recycle bins on the street. If you can set up a collection point on Hollywood Road near the pedestrian escalator, I am sure the restaurants and the residents are more than happy to contribute what we can to the ‘greenglass’ project. Thank you.

I buy the idea to set up a point in Soho. The place is always an issue. I did apply for the collection point before but it was turned down.
Having said that, it doesn’t mean I drop the attempt. At the moment I’m trying to apply for a spot that qualified the criteria of safety, sanitary, less disturbing,.. and approachable to bars and residents.
On the other hand, transportation cost is very expensive and it needs to work out.

重覆問題如上。 自計劃開始致今，請簡述回收成效、回收玻璃總量及已參予的灣仔酒吧？

To Kris,
現時有兩間酒吧參與計劃，6月底開始，至7月中已經回收超過11,000個玻璃樽。

請問你們有否與添惠資源回收發展有限公司合作？
因我收到他們的資料，有一些參觀活動，但要收取800元一次，每次可接待不多於60人。不知你們對這些參觀團有甚麼意見？會否有些免費的參觀活動，可讓學生接觸多些有關資訊？而在學校的層面，不知有甚麼可做？

我們沒有與添惠合作，也没有參加過他們舉辦的活動。「玻璃再生璀璨」有安排參觀屯門納比迪製磚廠，這是半天的活動，日期為10月10日（星期日），中環開車時間為上午9時正，人數有限，需要預先報名。此外，我們正籌備在10舉辦玻璃閃閃座談、11月舉行玻璃環保大使招募及培訓，你有興趣參與和推介嗎？

Will there be any collection points in Kln side? As I’m living in Kln, bring all my bottles to HK Island is a hard work for me.
Kris says:

Any figure to share (HK$?/tonne of glass recovered) about the recycle cost (including collection, sorting, transportation and recycling)???
april says:
September 24, 2010 at 12:34 pm
To Cathy
WE don’t have resources to set up collection at the moment. Definitely more than happy to see the extension in the near future. There is a church at Jordan has contacted us and expressed their interest to send the bottles to Luard Rd collectionus periodically. Will publicize it on the website when update news received.
april says:
September 24, 2010 at 12:49 pm

We haven’t worked out the figures yet. On the other hand, what will you do with the figures?

i would like to have below suggestions :
1. there should have more collection points, like residential estates, schools……etc., can we push government to have 1 more box to collect bottle together with 3 colors collection boxs ?
2. how about encourage the company produce glass bottle products to recollect the bottle and reuse it again ? this can save their cost and with green image ! also, hk people if those bottle can repay for returning, lots of people will do it !
3. besides recycle into eco blocks, any other org recycle to glass bottle again ? if more org using the recycle bottle, more recycle value added.
4. even taiwan and sweden with high recycle rate, may be we can study how they can acheive this in their country, wish hk can do more on it !!
any org need volunteer to help and push recycle glass , i am willing to help !
april says:
October 4, 2010 at 6:09 am
Thank you jj for the excellent suggestions. In fact, they are also under our consideration. We’ll be grateful to have you to join us to make them realized. Please tell us of your strength or the area of your interest. Perhaps you can do it by sending to info@greenglass.org.hk if you like.
We are collecting inputs from other countries. The experience of Switzerland in underway for a Swiss friend is voluntarily helping. Others such as Taiwan,…. are very welcomed.
Please spread the news of the wanted volunteers and inputs.

grocery items like instant coffee, creamer, etc should be recycled too.
What about mooncake metal containers??
april says:
December 28, 2010 at 12:11 pm
We do collect clean glass containers.
For metal, there are organizations doing that during the mid autumn festival.

請問你們的七十多萬是否在計劃中一年用完,如平一個月用五萬多元去回收三萬個樽是否太小。
因為我是做貨運,如用我去回收,六萬元一個月約可收十萬個左右,因我是用積極回收法。
april says:
January 10, 2011 at 10:58 pm
請你講解一下積極回收法是什麼？
我們除了回收外，更辦社區教育活動來配合的。
steven says:
January 11, 2011 at 8:34 pm
很簡單,我見到你們是指定一個點,等人送去,到明日上午才去垃圾站去分去抽回酒樽,人數也3/4個。
其實你哋可以叫酒吧放在自己門前,每晚或星期4.5,6去收,你自己計數,以太子警署則的一條街,
保守計有二十間,一間每晚最小有150至200支,一個點每晚2個人做,10至2時,4個鐘已可收3000以上,
集合在一個點去收。
steven says:
January 11, 2011 at 9:10 pm
補充一句,眼見你哋申請的資助,往往都一次性,完了就算,什麼在那裏放幾個回收箱,
做吓戶外活動話教人環保,又申請二,三十萬。因我是個人所以申請唔到,希望你哋做好D。

I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT CAN ADD “GLASS” RECYCLE BIN, SAME AS THE METAL, PAPER AND PLASTIC BINS AROUND US. SO THAT WE CAN RECYCLE THE GLASS BOTTLE AS WELL.

請問你們最主要是用甚麼方法去收集玻璃樽？設立回收箱？
你好我是仁濟醫院王華湘中學的學的中五學生
現在正進行有關堆填區爆滿的問題，所以希望能與閣下進行訪問，談談香港未來廢物處理的發展
訪問時間為4月份
希望閣下能夠抽空接受是次的訪問！
您好！我是大陆某大学在校生，在我高中时期就发现了，中国乃至全世界大多地区，垃圾问题越来越严重，环境越来越差！所以我渴望通过努力，可以为垃圾处理有所作为！我想通过垃圾的回收以及精确分类，来提高垃圾的回收利用率，以此来减少垃圾污染等问题，以及实现资源的高效循环利用。但是我还有很多问题和疑问需要解决！当我看见你们的这个项目的时候，产生了很大的兴趣，以及很有参考价值。我希望，可以与你们深入交流。我还有一个请求：我可以了解你们在发起这个项目到有现在这样规模，之间有过哪些困难以及之后又怎样解决的？或者说是这个项目的传记。谢谢了！
你看垃圾問題很有意思的，但問題很闊。待你搜集好資料，消化了，再談吧。
請問你是那間大學的學生？
