GLASS RECYCLING PLANT
J-GLASS
J-GLASS is a glass waste recycling facility that produces a lightweight porous pumice-shaped foam with 99% of the glass waste produced by a community as a raw material.
The lightweight foam porous artificial material (pumice stone) is produced by grinding, baking and spent glass foam.
It can be used for a wide range of purposes, including greening, insulation, horticulture, purification, construction, civil engineering, etc.,and is a high value-added product playing a vital role in the formation of the recycling society.
APPLICATIONS
- Light weight embankment material
- Backfill material of retaining wall
- Earth pressure reduction material for underground structure
- Drainage ground material for athletic field
- Culvert drainage material
- Inorganic soil improving material
- Hydroculture
- Water purification material
KEY FACTS
- To make “Foamed Glass” , unlike in most other recycling processes, the base material doesn't need to be cleaned or treated-in any way.
- Labels can still be affixed, and the bottles don't need to be sorted by color. The glass is loaded into a receptacle, crushed, then ground into a powder.
- The powder is then mixed with a proprietary formula of natural additives and baked.
- The mixture foams and swells about fourfold, meaning better returns from the base powder product than in most other recycling processes.
