Glass Waste Disposal

In the UK, glass recycling has increase by 75% because it is one of the easiest materials to convert. Melting existing glass can be done at a far lower temperature than you would need to melt the raw materials to make glass. This means it takes less energy to recycle glass than to produce it, and unlike any other material, glass can be recycled time and again, making it one of the most important recyclables wastes.

Recycled glass is made into glass aggregate, fiberglass insulation products, ceramic bathroom suites, brick manufacture, Astroturf, recycled glass countertops and used in water filtration products, to name a few.

Glass waste is reprocessed into glass or other uses such as aggregate for road construction.

What is involved in glass recycling processes?

Glass is ideal for recycling because none of the material is degraded by normal use. The recycling process differs depending on the end use and local processing capabilities, butgenerally it needs to be sorted into different sizes, sorted by the colour of the glass, graded, then purified and cleaned to remove all contamination by washing it at a high temperature.

Once it is sorted, the glass is crushed or imploded ready to be remelted which is known as ‘cullet’. To be able to use cullet in production, as many contaminants as possible need to be removed including paper, plastics, caps, rings, ceramics, porcelains, metals and more.Glass is graded in a four-tier grading system for raw cullet quality – grades A to D – according to the degree of colour separation, contamination and particle size.

There are three levels of contaminants: unacceptable contaminants, critical contaminant and hazard contaminants. These are all considerations that Erese will deal with on your behalf.
