The benefits of Glass Recycling & Glass Aggregate
Looking to up the ante in the safe-handling of your glass recycling? Turn your glass waste throughput into construction material, and reduce your environmental air and water footprint by 20% and 50%! With the concrete industry placing heavy demand on aggregate sources (165 million tonnes annually), it is therefore a definite environmental incentive to develop aggregate sources crafted from waste materials. Although a recent venture, crushed glass is steadily gaining popularity for construction applications including utility backfill, roadways, underground storage tank backfill to landfill cover.
- Buy or Rent one or three of our industrial glass crushing machines and it could potentially be worthwhile economic and environmental investment.If properly sized and processed by a glass crusher, crushed glass (or cullet) exhibits similar characteristics to sand and gravel, making it a suitable material for fill, construction and road bases. Our glass crushers can create varying sizes and grades of aggregate to suit your requirements and applications.
Frequently Asked Questions: Glass Crushers And Pulverisers
Is glass recyclable?
All parts of glass are recyclable, whether clear or coloured. Glass has great reuse value for many industries, including but not limited to manufacturing and construction. For businesses in industries like these, as well as smaller sectors like retail, Waste Initiatives provide Glass Crushers as well as Glass Pulverisers. The Glass Crushers include the WP Glass Crusher, a tall-standing machine that can reduce your business's number of bin collections at a compaction rate of 5:1. Additionally, the AGC1 Glass Crusher, which benefits from a conveyor for ease of feeding, is also an excellent option for organisations looking for a glass waste solution.
How to make crushed glass that can be sold to other businesses?
Crushed glass is seen as a commodity due to the demand it generates from businesses that produce goods from it. As such, businesses with a glass waste problem should not see it as a problem, but rather as a revenue opportunity. Of course, businesses first must use a Glass Crusher to create this usable commodity. Speak to Waste Initiatives today if you’re interested in converting your glass waste into sellable crushed glass.
Does crushed glass contain silica
Crushed glass produced from Waste Initiatives machinery, like any other glass waste solution products available, creates dust which can be harmful if inhaled excessively. This dust is amorphous silica. It is safe for humans to be in contact with and can even be found in products like toothpaste. When most think of ‘silica dust’, they are referring to crystalline silica, a naturally formed substance found in things like rocks and clay, which is passed onto construction materials. This dust is dangerous due to its fine size, sharp properties, and ability to linger in the bloodstream and lungs. This is different to the amorphous silica dust produced by glass crushers.
How does a glass crusher work?
It depends on the model.
Smaller glass crushers fit for supermarkets, hospitality and the beginning stages of glass recycling in a recycling facility are loaded with an empty wheelie bin at the bottom and filled with glass through the top hopper. Once closing the doors and turning on the machinery, the metal rotors quickly move back and forth to crush the glass.
Larger VSI glass crushers operate instead through a crushing centrifugal force and rotors after glass is loaded through the top. While the GP models are similar by way of their internal centrifugal rotors, they also have a screen to help filter for a safe finished glass aggregate with no sharp edges.
Can crushed glass be used in concrete?
Crushed glass can be used as a substitute for parts of sand in concrete. In fact, studies by Dr Rabin Tuladhar, Head of Engineering in the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University, proved that replacing up to 40% of natural sand with glass, has the potential to improve the final concrete’s strength and durability.
