NERC formed a Glass Committee in August 2017 to work on glass recycling in the Northeast. The Committee's goals are to better understand the recycled glass value chain and gaps in the region, and to promote greater diversion of glass containers to the highest-value end uses.
The Committee is comprised of NERC Board and Advisory Members.
Committee staff lead: Mary Ann Remolador, NERC’s Assistant Director.
