What is foam glass and why is it important for the future of glass recycling?

The cost of shipping glass off the Island of Macau was prohibitive so a solution for local use of the processed glass sand was imperative. All glass, when converted to a sand, has the potential to displace naturally occurring sands.

A global pharmaceutical company contacted Krysteline for a solution to de-package dry penicillin from glass vials.

Glass is manufactured using silica dioxide, so we are regularly asked about the safety of glass dust. To help avoid future confusion we have constructed a quick guide on the difference between crystalline silica and amorphous silica.

With a comingled waste stream, re-using and refining any recovered materials from the MRF on site was key. Using Krysteline's Implosion technology the mixed waste is separated and glass reduced to a sand.

A solution was needed for waste produced on the island, and the associated export costs. Research lead to Krysteline with years of experience with glass recycling within isolated island communities.

As the principle technology provider for the glass crushing and recycling system at Gaspésie, Krysteline Technologies would like to congratulate Nathalie Drapeau on her success, recycling 100% of waste glass collected.

We do things a little differently here at Krysteline, sharing knowledge & encouraging the recycling of 100% of waste glass that would otherwise go to landfill.

Guernsey's last landfill site, is scheduled to be full in 2022. Plus the high costs of shipping waste to the UK led to the development of a new strategy for recycling their own glass.

Krysteline Technologies played a large part in increasing glass container recycling in Hong Kong through our partnership with Baguio Waste Management & Recycling Ltd.
