WHERE CAN I RECYCLE

GLASS?

Why its a Good Question?

America alone “generated 11.6 million tons of glass in the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream? And from that number only around 28% of this glass was recycled?

Soda, beer, wine food and liquor containers make up the largest source of glass that is both recycled and generated. Glass in appliances and furniture comprise the largest source of postconsumer glass.

“Where can I recycle glass” is a great question because this material can be recycled again and again.

Many glass manufacturers need a steady supply of crushed recycled glass to supplement raw materials. This glass is also called “cullet.”

Cullet doesn’t cost as much as using new materials, it needs less energy to produce, which is better for the environment, and it lengthens furnace life because it melts at a lower temperature.

What is it Used For?

Glass container manufacturers need cullet to make their glass containers – the demand for cullet is greater than the supply.

QUALITY CULLET is used for abrasives, fiberglass, beads, and

decorative applications.

LOWER QUALITY CULLET

is used for insulation, driving safety material and tile.
