The Glass Recycling Process
Our glass recycling process is designed to maximise sustainability and efficiency:
- Collection: Our team collects your glass waste using the provided bins, ensuring timely and efficient service according to your schedule.
- Transportation: The collected glass waste is transported to our recycling facility, minimising the risk of breakage and contamination.
- Sorting and Cleaning: At our facility, the glass is sorted by colour and type. Any contaminants, such as labels and caps, are removed to ensure the purity of the recycled glass.
- Crushing: The cleaned glass is then crushed into small pieces called cullet. This step prepares the glass for melting.
- Melting: The cullet is melted in a furnace at high temperatures, transforming it into a molten state.
- Reforming: The molten glass is reformed into new products, such as bottles, jars, and various glass containers. This process can be repeated indefinitely without degrading the quality of the glass.
- Quality Control: The new glass products undergo rigorous quality control checks to ensure they meet industry standards before being sent out for use.
Benefits of Recycling Glass
Recycling glass offers numerous environmental and economic benefits:
- Conserves Natural Resources: Recycling glass reduces the need for raw materials, such as sand, soda ash, and limestone.
- Saves Energy: The energy required to melt recycled glass is significantly lower than that needed to produce new glass from raw materials.
- Reduces Waste: Recycling glass helps divert waste from landfills, conserving space and reducing environmental impact.
- Endless Recyclability: Glass can be recycled endlessly without losing its quality or purity, making it an ideal material for sustainable recycling.
