Through Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) methodology, this research evaluates municipal kerbside glass recycling practices. The investigation introduces three key advancements: analyzing open-loop and closed-loop recycling systems, while developing metrics for measuring social impact parameters alongside environmental and economic frameworks. The study examines scenarios combining collection strategies with manufacturing outputs, comparing mixed waste pick-up against dedicated glass bin services, while evaluating asphalt integration versus container manufacturing. Mixed collection demonstrated superior performance across all metrics when assessed annually, due to reduced production requirements. However, analyzing sustainability per ton revealed advantages for segregated collection methods. Manufacturing comparisons indicated greater sustainability benefits in asphalt production versus container manufacturing when evaluated per ton. Separate collection protocols enhanced environmental and economic outcomes for container manufacturing yet showed minimal influence on asphalt-related metrics. Social dimension analysis revealed little variation between collection approaches across both pathways.
