    Where are 6" disks of fragile thin glass used in that quantity?
    And where are the discs being thrown, where at least they're not breaking against each other?

    And the sleeves? Is that safety gear; but what about the grommets?

    And gloves/sleeves PPE, but no eye protection?

    And the wagon wheel cart?

    Tony Foale says picture frames, clocks. . .highly likely. Never thought of them; looking around nothing round at home like that.

    I think the grommets are just vents, the worker [she?] uses coated gloves nice nonslip grip. Safety glasses would be common elsewhere; glass is thin and light and little stored energy, not too close to face, but still.
    That volume is probably going right back on a conveyor to assembly, spaced by rate they're separated from strip.
    The cart is scrap, as the barrel fills.

    clock faces, picture frames, bottoms of bell jar display cases are the ones I thought of

    If I had to guess where the disks are used I'd say dollar store picture frames?
