The glass collected through curbside recycling is sent to a sorting centre where it is sorted, imploded and cleaned (1). It is then sent to conditioners to be processed into micronized glass (2), aggregate (3) or cullet (4). Micronized glass, or "glass powder", is used to produce foam glass (5) and cement additives (6).
