Our Process

We take glass, recycle it and make it into something that can be used again.

At glassAdvantage, we start with post-consumer glass in the form of bottles, jars, and various other glass waste products.


The glass is crushed into small pieces, fed into a burner that heats and tumbles the glass until all the labels and other unwanted materials burn off, leaving clean, tumbled glass pieces.


The tumbled pieces are sent through strong magnets to filter out any metal pieces and other debris. Tumbled glass may be separated for use in landscaping, terrazzo floors and counter tops, etc., or the tumbled pieces are crushed into the desired size, ranging from course to a fine powder for use as filtration or blasting media.

Tumbled glass or crushed glass media is then packaged in various size bags and totes for shipment to our customers.
