[GreenYes] Cullet exports worth more than $800 a ton

["Reindl, John" <Reindl@co.dane.wi.us>]

This is very interesting. It is possible to get a breakdown of the amount of
exports by type of cullet and the amounts sold along with their respective
values? I would not have guessed that there was so much cullet of speciality
glasses being sold through the export market. Perhaps we can expand these
markets domestically as well.
