  • Our Mission

    To collaborate across the entire glass recycling value chain to break down barriers and build opportunities regionally for glass as a core recyclable, meeting and growing end-market demand and awareness of the benefits of glass recycling.

We Believe…

  • That recycled glass in a high-value material in the circular economy.

  • That recycling glass is the right thing to do to conserve our natural resources.

  • That recycling collection and processing systems should protect the value and quality of glass.
