> We're recycling glass since forever (maybe mid 90s)
Far, far earlier than the '90s. Glass has been regularly recycled from the early days of glassmaking itself. It's crushed up into "cullet" and mixed back in.
Glass is great for this because it doesn't degrade from being remelted and reformed, and using cullet reduces the cost of energy and new raw materials when making new glass.

You’re absolutely right. I meant recycling as ordinary citizens in my country with that date.
