Washington State Holds “Recycling Glass for Value” Event
The Washington State Recycling Association (WSRA) will hold “Recycling Glass for Value” on September 24th. The event is one of three that WSRA organizes as part of its Washington Recycles Every Day series. These events bring together 60-80 public and private-sector professionals from all over Washington State to discuss serious recycling issues and provide meaningful tours of working facilities and technologies in the field.
As part of the event, representatives from Strategic Materials and eCullet, both glass processors, will present. And attendees will tour the Verallia, formerly Saint-Gobain Container, glass manufacturing plant and the eCullet glass processing facility. eCullet is producing more than 8,000 tons/month of furnace-ready cullet for Verallia’s glass manufacturing plant where they are now using nearly 50% recycled glass—up from 17% in 2009—in the manufacture of new glass wine bottles.
