Importance of Post-consumer glass recycling

Thursday 16th May 12:05 - 12:25

Conference

Recycling is becoming increasingly important. What has been the norm for a long time in industrialized countries, is now on the agenda in almost every country of the world.

However, there are still big differences in the quality of the collection systems. In some countries the raw material glass is collected and sorted by color, but sometimes it is also collected completely mixed. The proportions of foreign substances (metals, ceramics, waste in general, etc.) also differ from country to country.

Post-consumer glass recycling plants typically include conveying, crushing, screening, and sorting technology (for example CSP, all-metal separation, color sorting).

Due to the variety of possible applications, recycling plants are always planned and built on a customer or project-specific basis.
