Investigating the Use of Recycled Glass for Storm Water Management

Projects Description

This project will test the viability and economics of producing a manufactured soil media, by including processed Blue Box program glass, that works more effectively than the manufactured media currently used to control urban storm-water runoff.  If successful, a substantial and sustainable new market for Blue Box glass could be established.
