Is recycling architectural glass good for the industry? Why aren’t we all doing it? Can the risks be managed, and can it be done economically?
Participate in the discussion and help lead the charge! See the resources NGA’s Recycling and Sustainability task group are creating, share case studies, and help formulate our “Advocacy Ask” to legislators. Let’s work together to keep architectural glass out of landfills and transform it into viable recycled products.
