Glass Plant Closure

(Portland, OR) -- The closure of the largest glass recycling plant in Oregon will send glass out-of-state to be turned into new products. The Owens-Brockway plant in Northeast Portland closed at the end of July. Glass that's being recycled goes to a plant in North Portland where it's crushed, cleaned and sorted. Now it will go to plants in Kalama, Washington; California, Colorado and elsewhere to be made into new glass products. Oregon DEQ says it doesn't anticipate any disruption to glass recycling, because of the closure.
