In 2024, Sibelco acquired Strategic Materials, Inc. (SMI), strengthening its position as a global leader in glass recycling. With more than 60 glass recycling facilities across Europe and North America, we process more than 10 million tons of cullet (recycled glass) each year, including 2 million tons in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Supporting Manufacturers Nationwide
With a network of over 40 plants across North America, we provide reliable, high-quality recycled glass to businesses across a range of industries.
Commitment to Quality
Advanced quality control ensures every batch of recycled glass is free from contaminants, achieving a 99.5% acceptance rate across the region.
Suppliers & Partners
We source waste glass from Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), container redemption companies, and municipalities, working closely with our suppliers to ensure quality and efficiency.
Applications
Our glass recycling process starts with the collection and sorting of used glass. We then clean and refine the material to remove impurities, ensuring it's ready for reuse as a high-quality cullet in a range of applications, including:
- container glass
- fiberglass
- highway beads
- glass abrasives
- fillers
- specialty glass
