Environmental impact
Congratulations on your decision to use one of the most environmentally-friendly processes there is!
USED WINDSHIELDS DEFACE OUR ENVIRONMENT!
Because of the plastic interlayer windshields contain, laminated glass cannot be recycled easily. At this time, there are limited recycling facilities available in the United States that recycle windshields.
Nearly 12 million windshields are replaced every year. These windshields end up in junkyards and landfills where they will last for thousands of years.
Plus, the replacement windshields are made through a process that requires the use of high amounts of energy, particularly in the form of gas and electricity.
