Ardagh Glass Packaging-North America (AGP-North America), a division of Ardagh Group, has partnered with the Don\u2019t Trash Glass programme on glass recycling in Chicago, US.<\/p>\n

This collaboration aims to expedite recycling efforts and increase the use of recycled content in the production of glass bottles in Chicago and beyond.<\/p>\n

By collaborating with Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) and Glass King Recovery & Recycling, Don\u2019t Trash Glass is driving a campaign to motivate restaurants, bars and local businesses to segregate used glass bottles from general waste.<\/p>\n

The goal is to repurpose these bottles into new ones and elevate regional recycling rates.<\/p>\n

AGP-North America president and CEO Brian Brandstatter said: \u201cArdagh is an advocate for recycling initiatives that ensure a source of high-quality recycled glass, such as the Don\u2019t Trash Glass programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe partnership symbolises our commitment to improving regional glass collection and recycling while advancing the circularity of glass bottles.\u201d<\/p>\n
