The use of recycled glass as a substitute for cement/fly ash would prevent air pollution from Portland cement production, improve community recycling programs (particularly for glass), provide economic benefit to communities by limiting costs for cement products (particularly in rural areas) and potentially provide new jobs through increased glass recycling, glass cleaning, and glass milling.
