2 Billion glass candle jars end up in landfills each year. Assume an average weight of a glass jar from a candle is 200 grams. Therefore, approximately 400 billion grams (or 400,000 metric tons) of glass waste from disposable glass jar candles end up in landfills each year. The amount of glass waste from disposable glass jar candles each year would cover approximately 29,684,601 (almost 30 million) football fields to a depth of 1 meter!
