Did you know that Oklahoma is home to 3 glass container plants?  Glass
collected in recycling programs is sent to be crushed and turned into
cullet.  The cullet is sent to the manufacturers to be used as feedstock to
make new glass. OKRA is working with the glass industry to divert glass
from our landfills and send it to be reused and turned back into glass
products.  Glass is 100% recyclable. This report published by the Glass
Recycling Coalition will tell you more about what is happening in the glass
recycling industry.

*Consumer Expectations for Glass Recycling Remains High*



The Glass Recycling Coalition has released its latest survey on glass
recycling. The survey measures how different members of the glass recycling
chain view the current state of glass recycling. The survey found resident
expectations on the ability to recycle glass grew slightly from 90% in 2020
to 93% in 2023. The survey also highlighted top challenges faced by
public-sector respondents to include cost-effectiveness and lack of
acceptance/recycling options. Additionally, nearly 87% of public-sector and
83% of glass industry respondents express interest in grants to help
strengthen glass recycling.
