NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Knauf Insulation, Inc., the official glass recycling partner of the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix, celebrated an exciting weekend culminating with Scott Dixon winning his 53rd career INDYCAR race. Dixon's win through the streets of Nashville was not the only thing to celebrate. After a month-long glass recycling initiative, Knauf collected more than 11,000 pounds of glass from nine of the most well-known downtown Nashville establishments such as Honky Tonk Central and Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in addition to the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix race campus at Nissan Stadium. Rather than winding up in a landfill, these bottles will be recycled into a raw material used in the manufacturing of Knauf's energy-efficient building insulation.

Key Points: 
  • "We viewed this partnership with the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix as an opportunity to introduce race fans to Knauf Insulation while bringing awareness to the importance of glass recycling.
  • Knauf estimates the continuation of an expanded glass recycling program with the city of Nashville will divert 75,000 tons of glass from landfills to a Knauf facility annually.
  • Knauf takes their values and places them into action," said Big Machine Music City Grand Prix Founder and CEO, Matt Crews.
  • The NTT INDYCAR SERIES visited Nashville Aug. 5-7 for the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix, round 14 of the 17-race season.
