Using Recycled Glass for Pressure Blasting Steel Surfaces and the Waste Produced in Firing Heavy Clay Constructed Products (GREENBLAST)

Start date: Jul 28, 2012, End date: Jul 27, 2014,

Currently waste glass is collected from homes (and businesses) for recycling. Due to the lack of demand there is an excess of green coloured glass which must be stored or sent to landfill. This project proposes an eco-innovative process and business model to make use of this in two different industries, effectively double recycling the waste glass, as described below:i) Waste glass can be used in ...
