• The facility processes 20,000 tons of glass every year.

Dive Insight:

The state of Ohio is increasing its focus on the glass recycling industry. The state has a historically low glass recycling rate, leading to the creation of a number of new programs to combat the trend. A little over an hour away from the Dayton plant, the city of Columbus is working to increase its glass recycling rate with a new program that simplifies the recycling process for bars and restaurants in a small section of the city.
