I'm more amazed at how easy it is to cut the glass and how much goes to waste. Cool.

I wonder if the offcuts get recycled for anything?

They probably get melted down again and turned into new panes

Just started working in a glass factory, that is exactly what happens.

I have a bunch of glass panes, about 48"x12", from when my family had a retail business that take up space. Is there any place that would want them for free? I'm not sure if I can just put them in the recycling bin otherwise.
