A comment on Smashing idea: how East Germany invented 'unbreakable' drinking glasses. Parent comment
The raw material for glass making is basically sand, and there's no problem dumping old glasses in a landfill.
So you should only recycle glass, if that's cheaper than making glass from scratch. There's no benefit otherwise.
(And you can still reduce and re-use, of course.)
