On this week’s show, your host, Justin Mog, helps you clean up responsibly after a long weekend of drinking! Joining us for a deep dive into glass recycling with Scott DeFife, president of the Glass Packaging Institute (https://www.gpi.org/dont-trash-glass) & Karen Maynard, Solid Waste Education Manager for Louisville Metro's Department of Public Works, Waste Management District (https://Louisvilleky.gov/clean). Don’t Trash Glass is a commercial glass recycling program for bars and restaurants that is new to Louisville. It’s an effort by the Glass Packaging Institute to help to rescue glass in Louisville and turn it into new bottles. Don’t Trash Glass is a unique collaborative, circular program that keeps glass containers out of landfills back into new bottles. Glass is endlessly recyclable - by partnering with bars, restaurants, events, and hospitality venues, we're able to create a circular solution for that glass! With the participation of local restaurants and bars, concert venues, distilleries and other users of glass containers, they are creating a sustainable and eco-friendly supply chain. Together, we're directing glass right back to glass manufacturers in the region!
