End of Waste Glass Aggregate Sand

Aquavitrum initially was solely focused on the recovery of sub-50mm fractions of glass cullet from heavily contaminated MRF glass streams. Traditional glass reprocessors would often struggle with this type of material and a lot of glass was falling out of the recycling loop.

We’d discovered a problem and knew it needed to be solved. So, we embarked on an extensive research and development programme to design our own fit-for-purpose technology.

Our History

Focusing on MRF glass has allowed us to continually challenge ourselves and utilise technology, as well as our extensive experience, to continue providing bespoke solutions to improve the world of recycling.

The fact the MRF glass contains all elements of recyclates means that we have extensive exposure and experience in handling all recyclable materials.

Environmental benefits

The use of glass packaging continues to increase. Consumers understand that thanks to its infinite recyclability, it’s a much more effective tool in decreasing overall pollution, as well as limiting our reliance on plastic. The statistics surrounding our process are staggering.

  • For every tonne of re-melted glass, we prevent 670kg of CO2 from entering the earth’s atmosphere
  • Preserves 1.2 tonnes of virgin sand per 1 tonne of recovered glass
  • Re-melted glass reduces water pollution by 50%
  • Reduces energy consumption for glass manufacturers by 32%
  • Prolongs the life of glass furnaces
  • More glass packaging reduces worldwide pollution from discarded plastics
