WISCONSINGlass cullet approved for onsite applications
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources recently approved glass cullet generated from recycling for use as onsite system backfill, drainage aggregate, concrete additives, and aggregate base for road construction. Project manager Don Biely of Universal Recycling Technologies, a recycling company in Janesville, Wis., led the effort to have the material approved. It is not sharp, as the recycling process rounds the edges. Municipalities use glass cullet for bedding pipes, but it hasn’t crossed over to the onsite industry.
“The product warrants our consideration,” says Aaron Ausen, vice president of Dalmaray Concrete Products and president of Wisconsin
