Abstract. In this paper, a review of the current status and future perspectives for reinforced glass fiber waste is undertaken, as well as an evaluation of the management hierarchy for these end-of-life materials. Waste levels are expected to increase in the coming years, but an improvement of collection routes is still necessary.
Tips For Recycling Glass. Here are four tips to help you improve glass recycling. Before you put glass in the blue bin, consider if you can reuse it for a craft or storage. They may also be a suitable solution for bringing your jars to re-fill and bulk stores. Only recycle clean items. Make sure glass is spotless before recycling.
The Glass Recycling Coalition is addressing this challenge through its MRF Glass Certification Program, which recognizes MRFs with cleaning equipment and operational procedures to produce high-quality and marketable glass cullet in both single- and dual-stream systems.
The study found that in a single year, recycling and reuse activities in the United States accounted for: 681,000 jobs, $37.8 billion in wages, and. $5.5 billion in tax revenues. This equates to 1.17 jobs per 1,000 tons of materials recycled and $65.23 in wages and $9.42 in tax revenue for every ton of materials recycled.

The two other MRF operators already awarded glass certification — Balcones Resources and …
Glass recycling is more energy-efficient than producing glass from scratch. When recycled glass requires less energy than creating glass from raw materials, these energy savings help reduce greenhouse gases and, in turn, mitigate climate change. By recycling glass, we contribute to a more sustainable and low-carbon future.
