Asphalt made with 10% glass aggregate has been used in City asphalt treated road base since 1992. Glasphalt has been used for pavement at the Honolulu Zoo, Wahiawa Refuse Convenience Center, and Pepsi-Cola's Halawa facility. 
Glass can be crushed to a size specified by the end-user. It can be used as aggregate substitute in road construction (glasphalt), as glass beads for reflective paint, as pipe cushion for French and storm drain systems, and as an abrasive (such as sandblasting grit). 
Glass sand is made from 100% post-consumer glass and is produced in a wide variety of colors and particle sizes. It is used for ashtrays, filter media for swimming pools, golf course sand traps, and aquarium sand. It is also suitable for sandblasting, as it contains less than 0.10% silica.
