Southwest Louisiana’s 1st glass-to-aggregate recycling company, transforming waste into valuable materials.
Our Recycling Goals:
Build 1st glass recycling Material Recovery Facility (MRF pronounced 'murf') in Southwest Louisiana
Collect/Donate glass aggregate for engineering studies to replace natural aggregate in construction and infrastructure projects.
Invest in data driven facilities, technologies, and systems with the capacity to process SWLA & SETX waste glass and more.
Want to help reach those goals?
Every donation and sign up helps turn discarded glass into valuable building materials, creating a cleaner and more sustainable Southwest Louisiana.

Recycling made convenient
-
The mini MRF stops at participating neighborhoods, bars, restaurants, and festivals/events to collect used glass bottles.
-
The truck hauling your glass away has processing equipment enabling us to break down your glass into small pieces and separate the small pieces by size all in 1 truck!
-
The crushed separated glass is stored then repurposed for construction projects, landscaping, coastal restoration, and even sustainable industrial materials.
Why We Exist?
Saving Natural Resources: Glass is made primarily of silica sand, soda ash, and limestone. Recycling just one ton of glass conserves over a ton of these natural resources, preventing habitat destruction from mining.
Calcasieu Parish: lacks curbside glass recycling largely because the region lacks a local glass-processing facility, making it expensive and environmentally taxing to transport heavy, breakable glass long distances.
Creating Valuable Alternatives: When glass can't be remelted for new bottles, companies crush and pulverize it into specialized sand. This processed sand is used for vital civil engineering needs like water filtration, road base, and even coastal restoration projects.
Promoting Sustainability: Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled several times without losing its quality. Therefore, there is no risk that the world will ever run out of glass if people keep recycling. Additionally, glass is a key ingredient in the production of renewable energy through solar panels and photovoltaic cells made from glass fibers. So by recycling glass, you promote industries that produce renewable energy.
