Are windshields recyclable

Yes, windshields are recyclable, but the process is more complex than recycling regular glass due to the presence of laminated glass and interlayers made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Many recycling facilities do not accept windshields, so it's essential to check with local recycling programs. Some specialized facilities can recycle the materials, separating the glass from the plastic interlayer. Alternatively, many windshields are repurposed for other uses, such as aggregate in construction.
