Yes! All our products are made from 100% recycled glass, reducing landfill waste and supporting sustainable development.


Foam glass aggregate is used in road construction, lightweight backfill, green roofs, and insulation for foundations. It’s lightweight, fireproof, frost-proof, and eco-friendly.


Our products serve industries like construction, environmental remediation, sandblasting, water filtration, and glass manufacturing.


Glass Recycling

We accept clean, non-deposit glass like float glass, window glass, and beverage bottles. Laminated glass is accepted with a $20/ton surcharge.


We accept lightly contaminated glass for a $20/ton surcharge but cannot process heavily contaminated loads. No general garbage, ceramics, or food waste is accepted.


Recycled glass is transformed into various products:

• Clear glass becomes cullet for bottle manufacturing.

• Colored glass becomes Enviro-Grit or Vitro-Clear.

• Unusable glass is turned into foam glass aggregate.
