The United States is not the only country currently involved in recycling programs. The United Kingdom has a program known as "Waste Watch, which is the leading national organization promoting and encouraging action on the 3Rs - waste reduction, reuse and recycling. They work with community organizations, local and national government encouraging the environmental benefits of waste minimization and recycling, while also highlighting the positive impact on the economy and wider society
There is a recycling organization know as BIR, which is "an international trade federation representing the world's recycling industry, covering in particular ferrous and non-ferrous metals, paper and textiles, while some members also study and trade plastics, rubber and tires (www.bir.org/)." BIR currently has affiliations with "about 550 companies and national federations from over 55 countries, and together they offer an international forum for industrial exchange and business contacts. They provide their expertise to other industrial sectors and political groups in order to promote recycling (www.bir.org/)."
BIR is not involved in landfills or incineration, but instead "deals with waste which can be recycled or reused, and strives to preserve and protect the environment (www.bir.org/)."

The three types of glass ceramics were then analyzed for structural integrity and thus, viability for use in industry.
