This Friday our speaker will be Morgan Henderson with Ripple Glass.
Ripple gathers over 800 tons of glass every single week from the residents and businesses in the KC area and the surrounding region, and then processes it into usable materials for remanufacturing as new glass, insulation, countertops, and more.
The glass is brought to the Ripple Glass processing facility where it is cleaned, sorted by color, crushed, and sized to meet the needs of its end-users. Specifically, the brown (or amber) glass is separated out, broken down into 2-inch pieces, and sent to a bottle manufacturer to be re-melted into new beer bottles! The other clear and colored glass is crushed down into a coarse sand-like consistency and sent just across the state line to a fiberglass insulation manufacturer in Kansas City, Kansas where they use it to make fiberglass insulation.
