Celebrate America Recycles Day. Pledge to Recycle Glass Bottles.
Since 1997, communities across the country have come together on or around November 15th to celebrate America Recycles Day—the only nationally recognized day dedicated to getting Americans involved in local recycling initiatives and encouraging them to take personal responsibility to recycle. This year, the Glass Packaging Institute has joined Keep America Beautiful, Inc. as a partner in this event.
“America’s glass container manufacturers have been supporters of America Recycles Day from the beginning,” said Joseph J. Cattaneo, GPI President. “It’s another great opportunity to remind Americans about the value of recycling today and every day. Glass container manufacturers encourage Americans to recycle all materials, and especially glass, which can be recycled back into new glass bottles over and over again.“
