Glass is a highly polluting material and it takes many years to degrade, which produces negative effects on animal life, wildlife and its habitat, on oceans and waterways, and on humans. In Peru, only 1.9% of the total re-usable solid waste is recycled, this fact should be alarming because of the importance it represents in the impact of our environment and our health. Traditionally, the glass container (when it came to beverages) was returned to the shops and they paid or discounted the price when you bought another drink again. These containers returned to the factory and after being washed they were reused. This process could be repeated many times. Nowadays, due to costs of labor, space or logistics of companies, in many countries it is not usually done. From there, as a minor evil, is when glass recycling becomes imperative and vital. It is worth mentioning that the recycling of paper, plastic, glass and metals saves raw materials that are extracted from nature, besides being currently a source of employment and that encourages a circular economy. In the present work, we take this environment as a reference and develop the Q umir vasos project, which offers a 100% recycled product based on glass, which seeks to satisfy a target market that cares about the conservation of the environment.
