So much of what makes our industry great happens behind the scenes.
At this year’s America in Orlando, a glass recycling initiative led by Infinite Recycled Technologies quietly made a significant impact.
More than 14 tons of glass were collected and diverted from landfill — proof that even the logistics and cleanup side of our trade shows can drive sustainability forward.
It’s a reminder that innovation isn’t just about what we build, but how we take responsibility for every piece of it. ♻️
Thank you to the team at IRT for their efforts --> Patrick Elmore, Jeremiah Watson, Stanley Yee, Nick Henderson, Samantha Froendt, & Carlos Medina
See more details below on the important and successful effort at the show!
