Grind every mountain

摘要

This is no green and pleasant land. These gentle rolling hills are, in fact, shards of glass, piled up at a recycling centre in Yeruham, in the heart of Israel's Negev desert. They stand 15 metres high and span the length of a few football pitches. Phoenicia Class Works is the only producer of glass containers in Israel. Bottles from across the country are sent here and ground up. The pieces are shovelled into hot ovens that reach temperatures of 1600 ℃ and are turned into new bottles - a million of them every day -for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Heineken and others.
