Edmund Optics® runs glass recycling programs in our global manufacturing facilities, turning manufacturing waste into other useful products.

Follow along to see how everything from coated optical filter scraps, to excess glass cut from windows, to even glass bottles from our cafeteria are recycled in our Akita, Japan facility.

Edmund Optics® manufactures a wide variety of optical components and assemblies all across the world, and programs like this help us significantly mitigate our environmental impact.

Glass recycling is just one part of our comprehensive sustainability program. Learn more at edmundoptics.com/company/sustainability
