Transforming Waste into Value, One Pound at a Time
At GLR Advanced Recycling, we are proud to be a family-owned and operated business with a rich history dating back to 1927. Our story began when Henry Rosen, a determined entrepreneur, started salvaging old newspaper and rags in Detroit to make a living. With hard work and dedication, he was able to build a loyal customer base and grow his business. His son, Ben, joined the company in 1941 and continued to build on their family's legacy.
Today, GLR Advanced Recycling is managed by the 3rd generation of the Rosen family, with Ben's children playing an active role in the company's daily operations. Our team is committed to upholding the values that have been passed down through our family's business, including providing dependable service, competitive prices, and timely payment.
