Knauf collected more than 15,000 pounds of glass from nine of the most well-known downtown Nashville establishments, such as Honky Tonk Central and Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, and across the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix race campus.

Instead of winding up in a landfill, these bottles will be recycled into a raw material used in the manufacturing of Knauf’s insulation.

This partnership will lay the foundation for larger initiatives with the city of Nashville, and they plan to enroll more U.S. cities in the future.

In the wake of the devastating tornadoes that recently swept through Tennessee, Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, announced it has made a $10,000 donation to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to assist in relief and recovery efforts throughout the region.

 The Music City Center, currently under construction in downtown Nashville is a multi-use convention facility designed to be Nashville’s next landmark building.
