Strategic Materials has launched similar programs around the United States with varying partnerships to ensure glass is diverted from landfills.  Glass is crushed, sorted and primarily recycled back into glass container manufacturing and fiberglass insulation, resulting in a reduction of energy costs, and savings on virgin materials during production.  “The public wants to recycle, it’s the right to do, and there are markets for the product, which supports jobs. I applaud the county for its leadership in this area to drive glass recycling forward, and we are happy to be a part of it,” said Curt Bucey, Executive Vice President for Strategic Materials. 

Georgia in particular will benefit from an increase in glass recycling - recycled glass is utilized by facilities such as Owens-Illinois, Atlanta; Anchor Glass, Warner Robins; Owens Corning, Fairburn; Johns Manville in Winder; and CertainTeed Athens, meaning local job creation and support.   It also keeps local recycled glass in local markets, reducing the transportation footprint.
