Recycling glass is vital for several reasons. Firstly, glass is endlessly recyclable, meaning it can be repurposed repeatedly without losing its quality. By recycling glass, you conserve natural resources and reduce energy consumption compared to producing new glass from raw materials. Additionally, discarded glass takes centuries to decompose in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution. By choosing to recycle, you minimize waste and help mitigate the harmful impacts of landfill disposal on our planet. It's a simple yet impactful way to contribute to a more sustainable future.

When we recycle glass, we turn it into sand. This sand not only aids in beach restoration but also offers versatile applications, including the production of new glass bottles and various glass products. By repurposing recycled glass, we significantly reduce our environmental footprint by minimizing the need for raw materials extraction and energy consumption in manufacturing processes. This sustainable approach underscores the importance of recycling in mitigating environmental degradation and promoting a circular economy.

We are currectly working on developing a way to offer this service to the residents in our community.

Prior to 2020, the Miami-Dade County Public Works and Waste Management Department reported that out of the 141,009 tons of glass collected, approximately 7% was sent to the Doral incinerator. However, since the fire at the Doral facility, the county has not released specific data on glass recycling rates.
This lack of transparency has led to concerns about the true fate of glass waste in Miami-Dade County. At Glass For Life, we are committed to making a positive impact by repurposing 100% of the glass we collect respecting Circular Economy principles. Our goal is to convert glass waste into valuable products such as: glass sand, new bottles and containers. glass abrasives fiberglass, highway bead and more
By doing so, we aim to reduce the amount of glass sent to landfills and incinerators, and promote a more sustainable future for our community. Join us in our mission to revolutionize glass recycling in Miami-Dade County.
