WRAP has announced a Capital Grant competition that will boost glass reprocessing capacity in the UK and lead to an increase of 80-160,000 tonnes of post consumer glass used in high value applications. The competition is specifically targeted at infrastructure in the UK to increase the capacity for producing fine glass powder with a particle size below 90u. Several projects underway in WRAP's research and development funding programme are investigating the use of the glass powder material in different industrial applications, including as a fluxing agent in clay brick manufacture and sanitary ware production and as a additive in cement. If successful, the high value markets for the material could prove to be substantial. Please see WRAP's website for more details: www.wrap.org.uk (invitation to tender section) whole item
