ongoing

Aero Aggregates of North America, a manufacturer of ultra-lightweight foamed glass aggregates, opened a new facility in July 2022 in Modesto, CA. The facility turns post-consumer recycled glass into material used in agriculture, infrastructure, and green commercial construction projects across the Western United States. The plant employs 15-20 workers and partners with Halo Glass Recycling to recycle over 140 million glass bottles per year. Aero Aggregates' products have been used on various resiliency projects to raise the grade on soft compressible soils, add stormwater storage, promote infiltration, and reduce carbon footprints. The foamed glass aggregate is used in the construction of roads, commercial developments, sewers, greenroofs, concrete blocks, gardens, building foundations, and more.
