Sustainable recycling in polyvalent use of energy saving building elements (LIFE in SustainaBuilding)
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
Background
Heterogeneous glass-based waste is a growing problem in Europe. In 2008, 25.5 billion glass bottles and jars, and almost 11.5 million tonnes of glass packaging were collected in the EU27. Properly sorted glass waste can be re-melted to produce new glass products, or for use in secondary markets, including in the production of ceramics, insulati ...
