Glass objects should be able to be melted down and made into new glass objects.

Sand is currently infinite so there's no point

It'll turn into a pseudo-flow someday.

And then it will.

Even forgetting the infinate sand... Crystal glass is a pain to make as it is.

Sand may be infinate but rock crystals are more rare then diamonds and star rubies combined!

Not with imports, they're not!

For the purposes of clear/crystal glass, it would be worthwhile, though.

In real life, glass recycling takes less energy (and sand is not the only ingredient). Glass blocks would also be more convenient to smelt...I mean import... than sand.
