The theme for National Science Week 2022[Link will open in a new window] is Glass: More than meets the eye. So, we've compiled a glass-themed Spotify playlist: Music you can recycle to.

We've filled it up with glassy tracks to recycle your glass to –and your dance moves!

You'll be dancing your way to the recycling bin with our glass-themed Spotify playlist.

Glass recycling

In Australia, we consume about 1280 kilotonnes of glass packaging each year. Think jars, beer and wine bottles, and containers.

Glass can go through an endless cycle of being melted and reshaped. Even after these recycling processes, glass still retains its sturdy structure.

Many countries are close to recycling 100 per cent of their glass. But in Australia, more than a quarter of the glass we consume becomes rubbish that goes to landfill.

We’re exploring research pathways in support of a circular economy, with an objective of reducing total waste generated in Australia by 10 per cent per person by 2030.

Glass playlist

Our Spotify playlist of certified glassic tunes will leave you shining from the inside out.

You can recycle these tunes over and over again and they never get old – just like glass!
