I wonder how much energy is used to transform glass back into sand as opposed to just using sand in the first place?


Because of climate change we are running out of sand.

There is a shortage of sand (and gravel) in my area due to the NIMBY’s not wanting any gravel pits near them, and the increased demand for concrete for new buildings and mass transit.
