Recycling glass

We recover and process the most common types of glass from urban waste collection and industrial processes, transforming waste into secondary raw materials.

1

The Collection

Every ending is a new beginning.

Bottles, jars, windows and other glass items from urban collection schemes and industrial processes arrive at our plants. The discarded items then undergo a transformation process.

2

The treatment

Technology that unlocks value. In our plants, glass is sorted, separated and purified using advanced processes that remove all impurities. We recover 98.5% of the materials we receive, returning a resource to the market that is ready for a new lease of life.

3

The production process

Precision that translates into quality. The treated glass is transformed into high-performance recycled glass granules with an extremely low level of impurities – just 0.005 per cent.
A reliable, consistent material, designed to meet the needs of industry.

4

Circular economy

The cycle comes to an end. The value endures.

Our glass granules are reused in a wide range of industrial applications, starting with the production of new bottles and jars. On average, up to 70 per cent of each new bottle is made from recycled glass: a tangible result that demonstrates how the circular economy can be put into practice in everyday life.

Glass recycling is a continuous process with no material loss. What’s more, using recycled glass to produce new products offers significant technical and environmental benefits:

0

CO₂ saved per additional kg of recycled glass

0

Marginal energy savings in a melting furnace for each marginal kilogram of natural raw material that is replaced with one kilogram of recycled glass
