recycling Glass better

Glass is one of the few materials that can be recycled infinitely without losing strength, purity or quality. And today most glass bottles and jars produced in the United States contain at least 27% recycled glass—which also saves on energy to produce glass made from new materials. Here is our guide to what Common Glass Grades we can recycle.

  • Container Glass Cullet: crushed glass.
  • Unprocessed Container Glass Cullet: glass either broken or whole scrap glass containers as defined by ISRI glass specifications.
  • Furnice Ready Container Glass Cullet: contaminate-free scrap container glass as defined by ISRI glass specifications, either crushed or whole.
  • Organic Matter: organic materials, not glass items such as paper labels. Such contamination should not exceed 2%.
  • Ferrous Materials: magnetic metals such as iron or steel. Such items must be removed during scrap glass processing.
  • Non-ferrous Materials: non-magnetic metals such as aluminum, lead, copper. These metals are to be removed during the glass processing.
