SEATTLE (Recycling Monster): Ripple Glass announced major expansion to its glass recycling program by announcing the launch of a new commercial glass collection and recycling program in the Atlanta metro area.
In order to keep unwanted glass items out of landfills, the program will offer multi-unit housing and local companies a practical and effective way to recycle them. Its dedication to offering efficient, environmentally friendly recycling solutions locally is consistent with the expansion.

According to their needs, businesses will be able to select between a 64-gallon and a 96-gallon can under the new scheme. In addition to lessening the effects on the environment, program participation will strengthen the local economy.
The commercial collection program has grown significantly since it was first introduced in Kansas City in 2018. More than 500 businesses in the Kansas City metro area are currently served by it.
"Ripple Glass is excited to provide a solution to businesses to recycle the glass that flows through their operations," said Jamey Moran, Commercial Program Manager.
Ripple Glass cleans and processes the collected glass to create cullet, which is then utilized to create new glass goods. Owens Corning, which turns the cullet into fiberglass insulation, is one of Ripple Glass' main clients.
