Introduction
Dedicated to transforming the fate of architectural glass, GlazingRecovery.com has been developed by a collective of parties who are passionate about promoting and improving rates of flat glass recycling in the construction industry.
Despite being infinitely recyclable, the vast majority of architectural glazing - around 99% - ends up in landfill at the end of its life cycle. Our mission is to change that by increasing awareness of architectural glazing recycling and promoting businesses who take part in this activity.
This site is your resource for understanding how glass recycling works, connecting you with the key players in the recycling process. Ultimately, we want to help divert as much inherently recyclable glass material away from landfill.
One of our core features is a database of companies involved in glass recycling, helping you find and reach out to businesses that can ensure your glazing is properly sorted, processed and recycled. Join us in our mission to make recycling the new standard for architectural glazing.
