Glass Study
• DSM Environmental analyzed five strategies for recovery of additional glass
• Not meant to be a definitive answer to the question of cost and benefits but rather one way to prioritize strategies

Recovery Strategies
• Expansion of single stream recycling could roughly supply 60,000 new tons of glass;
• Implementation of glass recycling programs for bars and restaurants could be estimated 53,000 new tons of new glass cullet;
• Source separated collection of glass by color using glass drop-off locations throughout Ohio could bring an additional 14,400 tons of container glass.

Recovery Strategies
• Recovery of additional plate glass from windshield replacement but this is an unknown market.
• Glass bottle bill legislation could recover an estimated 239,000 tons of glass.
