LARAC is advising its members to look a the way they manage their glass collections to ensure they protect themselves from changing markets. This comes following constructive discussions with the glass sector regarding UK glass markets and the UK's well-known colour imbalance that leads to an oversupply of green glass when trying to find end markets. LARAC suggests that member should keep colours separated as far down the supply chain as possible and also look at sourcing additional end markets for some of their green glass. "We found the discussions with the glass sector very useful. It is part of our strategy to work closely with other sectors of the waste industry, in this way we can begin to understand the problems they face and they can begin to better understand the challenges local authorities face today" said Lee Marshall, Chair of LARAC.
