Summary
This project aims to test and measure whether crushed recycled glass (CRG) can be used to help restore depleted mangrove and seagrass populations in Cayman and help lower the island’s carbon footprint within construction and farming practices. If successful, it would demonstrate that diverting glass waste, a waste product that Cayman has in abundance, from the landfill, a facility that risk assessments show can be harmful to the environment, to help solve some of Cayman’s priority environmental concerns.
