Highest quality standards

The requirements of the glassworks to purity of the prepared cullet are very high. Even small amounts of impurities may lead to enclosures in the glass or discolouration. The float glass tank will be damaged in the most extreme case.
We use cutting-edge processing technology such as X-ray fluorescence analysis in order to meet the strict glassworks specifications if any non-glass materials end up in the collection container after all. We played a major role in development of this technique, which is now used worldwide. The innovative processing steps allow removal of CSP (ceramic-stone-porcelain), FE metals, and non-ferrous metals, as well as glass ceramics, lead-containing glasses, and organic substances from the collected glass waste. As a result, our recyclates can be used in virtually any melting application to add value.

Responsible handling of raw materials

We are aware of our shared responsibility and focus on sustainability and environmental protection! Only the responsible use of resources will give new generations a future. Glass in particular can be recycled an infinite number of times without any loss of quality. The primary raw materials used in glass production, such as sand, soda ash, and lime, are considered virtually unlimited. Mining, transport, and processing cause a high expenditure of energy and emissions of CO2, however. The use of 10% of our processed cullet saves 3% energy and 5% CO2 in glass production.
