Today we had an enquiry from the wonderful and acclaimed Becker Studios regarding glass cullet. These guys are leaders in glass recycling and have worked on some amazing projects from hotels to the feted Crosby Hall. Below is some information on glass recycling from Becker Studios. Glass is one of the most energy consuming materials yet vast amounts of this precious material are thrown away. Glass is also one of the most suitable materials for re-use and recycling once the technical problems created by the great variety of different ingredients have been solved. Environmental benefits It is manufactured without releasing CO2 greenhouse gas during the melting process. Process energy consumption is much lower, by at least a third, than in conventional glass manufacture. No quarrying for raw materials is required. You need 1.2 tonnes of raw materials for every tonne of standard glass produced. By replacing standard glass with my recycled glass products, clients have the opportunity to help reduce landfill and greenhouse gas emissions. The glass used by Becker Studio is 100% recycled glass manufactured from waste glass which would otherwise end up in landfill sites. Glass is one of the most energy consuming materials yet vast amounts of this precious material are thrown away. Glass is also one of the most suitable materials for re-use and recycling once the technical problems created by the great variety of different ingredients have been solved. We love what these guys are doing and we would like to have pubs, bars , restaurants , hotels, canteens and all types of catering houses up and down the country crushing their bottles, recycling their glass and seeing the wonderful expressive ways to recycle one of the world's greatest and most recyclable products. Bottle crushers will one day walk the earth and save the planet! Vive la Bottle crushers and Vaya con Dios. |
