Glass Recycling Symposium Registration Deadline Nears
The Glass Manufacturing Industry Council (GMIC) will host a one-day symposium on May 19, 2011 in Savannah, GA. The event will be held in conjunction with meetings of the American Ceramic Society. It is a first step to organizing a coalition around the challenges and opportunities for U.S. glass recycling.
The goal of “Glass Recycling in America—Challenges and Opportunities” is to bring together stakeholders to focus on how to achieve more robust glass recycling in America. According to Robert Lipetz, GMIC Executive Director, “The bottom line objective is to increase the amount of glass cullet that’s available to the industry that is free of contaminants and affordable.”
Speakers will include representatives from the glass container and fiberglass industries, waste haulers, glass recycling processors, government, and other stakeholders. Get the complete agenda. Don’t miss this event. Register now.
