@Kojichao If you look at the trimming operation, quite a bit of glass gets trimmed off the plate mold. That's the majority of the recycled materials.
I notice comments saying that this makes the process looks automated. Genuinely, what the people do in the glassware factory is extremely unglamorous and not all that interesting for a quick informational blip like this. Every dish is hand inspected multiple times, as well as running through all sorts of other processes. I'm pretty sure World Kitchen isn't ashamed of it's employees, but rather realized that no one wants to see PLIs and Warehandlers. lol.
@Kojichao err id say 65% ?

Wait, what? 65% recycled materials from previous runs? Just how many of these dishes come off as rejects to get that much?
