Abstract:

Clarence Harris, owner of P & H Plate Glass Co. in Carrboro, has developed a method of reusing broken glass by grinding scrap glass in such a way that it will not cut a person yet retains its jewel-like glitter. Harris says the uses for the glass are virtually unlimited, for example, sandblasting, making concrete, and filtering swimming pools. The glass produces an eye-catching sparkle and color when embedded in concrete or asphalt.
