Glass breaks when dropped on the floor because of the force of impact. When glass hits a hard surface, the force causes it to crack and shatter.
The size of the glass pieces after breaking depends on the type of glass and the force of the impact. Tempered glass, for example, is designed to break into small, less dangerous shards. Regular glass may break into larger, more jagged pieces.
No, there is no guaranteed safe way to drop glass on the floor without it breaking. However, certain types of glass, such as laminated glass, are more resistant to breaking and may be less likely to shatter when dropped.
Yes, glass can still be recycled even if it breaks on the floor. Broken glass can be collected and melted down to create new glass products.
To safely clean up broken glass on the floor, first, put on gloves to protect your hands. Then, use a broom and dustpan to sweep up the larger pieces. Next, use a damp paper towel or cloth to pick up any smaller shards. Dispose of all glass pieces in a puncture-proof container and clean the area with a wet cloth to pick up any remaining fragments.
