A large number of items of Soviet crystal have been inherited: vases, plates, glasses. They take up a lot of space. Can crystal be recycled?
Unfortunately, crystal, like other ceramic dishes and heat-resistant glass, cannot be recycled, explained eco-trainer Elena FRANSKEVICH.
The chemical composition of crystal differs from ordinary container glass used for bottles and jars. Artificial crystal is a type of glass with the addition of barium oxide or lead. It is these components that make it unsuitable for recycling.
Thus, the optimal option for the remaining items of crystal tableware and decor would be to sell them on popular online marketplaces.
