The Glass Project

Lets Talk About Glass!

Glass is composed primarily of silica, soda ash, and limestone, is a sturdy and infinitely recyclable material.

However, the production of new glass demands a substantial amount of raw materials and energy.

The extraction of these resources and the high temperatures required for glass melting contribute to the material intensity of glass manufacturing.

Contamination issues also arise when different colors or types of glass are mixed.

Why aren't we recycling our glasses?

Why do we need to improve infrastructure, raise awareness, and promote sustainable practices?

So, what does RTG do with glass?

Primarily, we are educators, but we also try to be innovators, and so:

We do R&D of plastic-glass mixtures for construction and other applications.

We repurpose glass bottles into household products like cups, candle holders, and lighting fixtures.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you want us to come down and give y'all a hands-on experience here!
