Scott DeFife, president of the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI), was named president of the Glass Recycling Foundation’s (GRF) executive board. GRF’s vision is to increase recycling through sustainability education and best practices. Jennifer Cumbee of Ardagh Group was also named the newest member of the GRF board. DeFife succeeds Lynn Bragg as board president, and joins Ron Holmes of Diageo and Laura Hennemann of Strategic Materials as officers of GRF’s executive board.
DeFife takes the helm as board president just as GRF has received the foundation’s first $50,000 to its endowment. GPI member O-I Glass and alcoholic beverage producer Diageo each made a $25,000 donation to the fund.
