The Green Glass Company

The Green Glass Company saw an opportunity in glass recycling and jumped on it! Glass bottles are infinitely recyclable, meaning that they can be recycled continuously without losing strength or quality. The Green Glass Company does their part to keep glass in the usage cycle by both upcycling and recycling used bottles, helping to promote a closed loop system. Not only does this company recycle used glass, they have a patented wine bottle upcycling process that uses just 1% of the energy that's commonly used for conventional recycled glass production.  The Green Glass Company partners with recycling companies to directly remove glass bottles from the waste stream that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. Due to their efforts, the EPA has made the company a certified Green Power Partner. This title is given to businesses that exemplify voluntary efforts to reduce their energy usage and produce products in a sustainable fashion. The EPA predicts that the Green Power Partner companies make up nearly 40% of the US voluntary green power market. The Green Glass Company is also beginning a new local initiative that promotes recycling in their own community. They have just begun their own recycling program in Weston, Wisconsin, which will allow them to lower carbon emissions by utilizing more of the local glass supply.  When production is complete, their sustainable efforts don't stop there! Every product is packed and shipped with reclaimed or recyclable shipping supplies - including compostable fiber cup carriers, reused shipping boxes, and kraft paper!
