Glass Sector
Current Waste Problem
Glass waste represents a significant environmental challenge with over 10 million tons discarded annually in developed nations alone. Only 33% of glass is currently recycled globally, while the remainder occupies valuable landfill space indefinitely since glass doesn’t biodegrade. Manufacturing new glass is extremely energy-intensive, requiring temperatures of 1500°C and consuming substantial natural resources. Each ton of virgin glass produced releases approximately 580kg of CO2 into the atmosphere
What We Can Do
At Cirqula, we can implement advanced optical sorting technology to separate glass by color and remove contaminants with up to 99.8% accuracy. We can apply our proprietary crushing process to create glass cullet of consistent quality and customizable particle size. Through our low-energy melting techniques, we can reduce the energy required for glass repurposing by up to 40% compared to traditional methods. We can establish a closed-loop collection system with local businesses to ensure continuous supply of recyclable glass.
