Ripple Glass Partners with Owens Corning for Expanded Glass Recycling
Ripple Glass, a company of Strategic Materials, Inc., North America’s largest glass recycler, is collaborating with building materials leader Owens Corning in recognition of America Recycles Day on Nov. 15, 2023. Ripple Glass will host glass recycling events, swag giveaways and a social media campaign to support the collection program, with bins in their bold purple color. With the mantra “Give Glass a Second Life™”, Ripple Glass launched their expansion in Atlanta earlier this year and collects more than 1.6 million pounds of glass each week nationwide. Owens Corning was the inventor of fiberglass in 1938 and uses recycled glass and other natural ingredients in its PINK Next Gen™ Fiberglas™ insulation batts and rolls. They also feature a variety of insulation products for every application, from attic to basement, and a full line of roofing products at home centers nationwide.
“What better way to honor America Recycles Day on November 15th than to launch the first Ripple Glass – Owens Corning sponsored collection bin at Atlanta’s CHaRM / Live Thrive, a well-respected non-profit in the area,” said Laura Hennemann, SVP, Sustainability & Corporate Affairs, Ripple Glass. “The bin will continue to move around the metro area for the community to see and we will host a glass recycling pop-up event in the future.” CHaRM/Live Thrive is located at 1110 Hill St. SE, Atlanta, GA 30315.
