Environmental Impact

AGM takes the responsibility of minimizing waste in the products used in our manufacturing seriously.

Presently our glass is optimized for automated cutting lines, ensuring scrap is kept to a minimum. All scrap glass is sent for recycling to be used in new glass or other areas relating to the construction industry.

Automated sealant application allows waste of less than 2% of safe silicone and butyl products.

AGM also encourages employee ride share programs and recycling as a great part of the culture we participate in.

AGM is constantly improving processes to maintain the highest level of environmental performance in the manufacture of glass products.
