According to a 2018 industry survey, more than 27 percent of materials recovery facilities (MRFs) have glass cleanup equipment. The Glass Recycling Coalition (GRC), a collaborative glass recycling organization, is launching the MRF Glass Certification to recognize effective programs.
“The long-term goal is to encourage and produce quality glass products that are viable in the glass container market or other beneficial reuse applications and not in a landfill,” said Tom Outerbridge, manager of Sims Municipal Recycling, in a statement.
