TUCSON, AZ, March 17, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Absolute Auto Glass, LLC, a locally owned auto windshield repair and replacement business in Tucson, Arizona, is asking the local community and communities in surrounding states to cast individual votes every day to help make their idea become a reality.

Absolute Auto Glass, LLC (AAG), and other businesses alike, can help keep the environment clean by boosting recycling efforts this year. For it's contribution to this effort, AAG is gearing up to start the first windshield recycling program in Arizona and the Southwestern U.S., with the ultimate goal of making windshield recycling a reality on a national scale. AAG believes recycled glass is a unique and valuable material that provides a great opportunity for environmentally sensible, sustainable businesses. They are planning to start recycling over 40,000 lbs of windshield glass per month in Tucson alone that would otherwise be dumped in Tucson's landfills.
The main product generated by the process of recycling windshields is called cullet (crushed glass), which is used widely in construction industries, roadways, waste filtering, sandblasting, counter tops, fiberglass products and much more. The production of cullet from recycled windshields is currently limited to the Eastern U.S.
According to J.D. Snyder, CEPES's Director of the Recycling Materials Center, over 70 tons of windshield material per month is currently land-filled by Henderson Glass, a Michigan chain of 33 glass replacement stores. They are just one example and an indication of the enormous volume of windshields that would potentially be diverted from U.S. Landfills. Recycling windshields could reduce the amount of the overall automotive "fluff" that currently goes to landfills by about three percent, according to USCAR's recycling partnership.
We are excited about proceeding in our first phase toward being fully equipped to process thousands of tons of recycled glass per year! We hope to help make protecting the environment a more hassle-free process, and aspire to set an example in our community and our state to encourage other businesses to avoid unnecessary waste.
Our initiative, desire and ultimate goal is to forge ahead in the development of innovative, value-added and environmentally responsible uses for recycled windshield glass in partnership with our potential customers, suppliers and employees. We aspire to become well regarded as a manufacturer of clean, consistent-sized glass aggregates* for a wide variety of markets. As each of these markets grow, we will strive to add the capacity to meet the growing demand. Our energies and resources will be directed toward the development of many diverse applications for the final product.
Waste glass will be converted into Glas-sand and various sized aggregate for many uses.

It will be exciting to watch businesses see tangible results of their diligent recycling efforts.
