Pennsylvania Launches New Enterprise To ‘Revolutionize’ Recycled Glass Use

 –Forwarded from Louis Bordenave–

LCL Industries, Inc., (LCL) will initiate a glass processing operation using primarily triple mix container glass.  This is the color mixed fraction of clear, brown, and green glass that is a consequence of many recycling programs, and will be used to manufacture grit abrasives and potable water filtration media.  At full production, the facility will utilize 30,000 tons of recycled glass per year using technology that is 75% less energy intensive than conventional glass processing.  This project received financial support from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Recycling Markets Infrastructure Development Grant, which awarded the company $500,000 in startup money.
