Recycling Glass

Postby It's not easy being green on Fri Jan 18, 2008 3:00 pm

I work for a company that makes lighting fixtures and we have a high quality standard. We end up rejecting a large quantity of glass from our vendors that do not meet the specs and the pieces just end up in the garbage.

I've tried to source a company that could reuse the rejected pieces but I can't seem to find a company to do it. Since we use a large range of colors and some pieces(shades) have multiple colors in them, companies don't think it's worth the trouble to reuse them.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
