ATLANTA, Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --  Ripple Glass , a leader in the glass recycling industry, is excited to announce the launch of a new commercial glass collection program in the Atlanta metro area. This expansion aims to help local businesses, including bars, restaurants, and multi-unit housing divert large volumes of glass waste from landfills by providing a convenient and efficient recycling solution. Tito's Handmade Vodka is a sponsor of the Ripple Glass commercial program. Ripple Glass is now accepting waitlist applications from businesses that generate glass waste. The new program offers flexible service levels, with 64- and 96-gallon containers available to meet the unique needs of each business. By participating, businesses can reduce their environmental impact and support the local economy by keeping glass waste out of landfills. "We're thrilled to offer an easy, effective and affordable solution for businesses to recycle the glass that flows through their operations," said Jamey Moran, Commercial Program Manager at Ripple Glass. "This program not only helps prevent hundreds of tons of glass from entering local landfills, but it also contributes to the creation of valuable products—such as new beverage bottles and fiberglass insulation—that benefit both the community and the environment." Ripple Glass has worked with Tito's Handmade Vodka since 2019. As a proud Commercial Program sponsor, Tito's sponsorship covers the cost of set-up fees and first month of service for all new commercial customers. "Tito's is excited to continue our work with Ripple in the Atlanta market. We've seen firsthand the impact the program has made in Kansas City, where our initiative has resulted in nearly four million pounds of glass diverted from landfills. Expanding our sponsorship and support of this project was a clear choice," said Joseph Ligon, Division Sales Manager at Tito's Handmade Vodka. Dedicated to reducing glass waste since its inception in Kansas City, Ripple's first commercial collection program launched in 2018, and currently services over 500 businesses in the Kanas City metro area. Based on the program's popularity and proven success, Ripple Glass saw an opportunity to widen its scope of service to best serve the Atlanta metro community. This expansion aligns with Ripple's ongoing commitment to providing effective recycling solutions and supporting sustainability and waste reduction at a local level. Ripple Glass cleans and processes collected glass into cullet, a substance that serves as a lower-energy alternative for manufacturing new glass products. The cullet produced by Ripple Glass is used by major manufacturers, including Owens Corning, which transforms it into fiberglass insulation, providing both environmental and economic benefits.
