Top Of The Glass: Materials Recycling Facilities Have Struggled To Produce Remelt Quality Glass. But Thats About To Change

Putting glass through materials recycling facilities (MRFS) is a divisive issue. The defination of what constitutes 'glass recylcing' is also hotly debated. But a company with glass processing technology in MRF's on 2 continents says it can offer the best of both worlds. Remelt quality from a MRF. This quite a claim when the opossing camps of anti-MRF closed loop bottle recyclers & pro-MRF aggregate & filtration users are so polarised. So could Krysteline's glass implosion technology hold the answer to the great glass debate? The answer lies in a study from the Waste & Resources Action Programme, (WRAP) called Glass from MRF's Can it be improved? Released in May 2008, the study found that remelt quality cullet could come from MRF, something that had not been conclusively recorded before.
