El Marques, Queretaro 76240, Mexico; [email protected] 3 Industrial Technologies Division, Universidad Politécnica de Querétaro, Santiago de Querétaro 76240, Mexico * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Humanity has developed recycling activities over time due to their benefits, the shortage of raw materials, or the footprint with regard to the environment. The absence of a recycling culture in Mexico has not allowed its development and growth despite the benefits. In 2012, Mexico only recycled less than 10% of urban solid waste. Most recycling activities are focused on plastic, paper, and cardboard products due to their prices in local markets. This article presents a semi-automated prototype focused on recycling glass bottles using the thermal shock phenomenon. It aims to develop a sustainable glass recycling culture by creating a new branch for the integral glass recycling process and a proposal base on Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM) and the Quintuple Helix Citation: García Guerrero, J.; Model.

  • Waste Glass Recycling
    WASTE GLASS RECYCLING It is an effective way to save energy and environment Waste glass is not just waste, but a new resource. Generally, beer, wine bottles and other food jars etc., are among the few normal household glass items put into landfills every day. The glass in these items can take up space in the landfills for up to 4000 years. A. The beauty of glass is, it is one of the few materials that can be recycled indefinitely, yet only about 22 percent of the glass produced today is from recycled materials. Glass is generally produced from sand, lime and soda and uses about 40 percent more power to produce from raw materials than it does with recycled materials. B. It may be noted, “For every ton of glass that is recycled to make new glass products 693 pounds of carbon dioxide is saved”. C. However, not all the glass items are recyclable. The glass in light bulbs, cook ware and window panes are not recyclable due to some special additives used to the glass. These additives are ceramics and other impurities that generally contaminate the recycling process. The glass that cannot be recycled only plays a small part of the glass that is put into the landfills though. D. The process of glass recycling is less extensive than the process of making it from raw materials. Once glass is picked up and taken to the recycle center it is separated by color and then broken into small pieces. The broken glass pieces are then crushed and sorted before being cleaned and added to raw materials to make the final glass product.

    III. WASTE MANAGEMENT Economic growth, urbanisation and industrialisation result in increasing volumes and varieties of both solid and hazardous wastes. Globalisation can aggravate waste problems through grow­ ing international waste trade, with developing countries often at the receiving end.

  • Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies David Rue
    Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies David Rue The Glass Manufacturing Industry Council White Paper on Cullet Utilization and Opportunities is funded entirely by GMIC and is provided to all interested parties at no charge Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies October, 2018 The objective of this study is to provide information to assist GMIC members in gaining a better understanding of ways in which more post-consumer cullet can be recycled and to investigate technical changes GMIC could catalyze to make that happen. This White Paper Study was led by David Rue with input from Robert Lipetz (GMIC Executive Director) and input from experts on collection, processing, characterization, procurement, and re-use of cullet. The opinions of experts are often but not always in agreement. Efforts have been made to include input from all parties. To obtain the most open possible input, the names of all respondents have been excluded from this document. No proprietary information is included. Several company names are included, with the understanding that these references are for illustration and informational purposes and not as endorsement of the companies themselves. Introduction Glass is 100% recyclable. Recycled glass competes with raw material batch and must rely on cost to drive utilization. A wide range of factors affect the cost of cullet to the glass companies. Most surveys (EPA, Container Recycling Institute, GPI) agree that roughly 11 million tons of glass is disposed of each year in the US, and 32-34% of that glass is recycled. Approximately 2.7 million tons were recycled to container glass and 1 million tons to fiberglass in 2017 (Resource Recovery magazine, 2018).

As a preferred packaging material, 33% of customers would like to see more products packaged in glass (Glass Recycling Coalition, 2017). The desirability of glass is based on its qualities of being nonporous and impermeable, which make it a cleaner and safer packaging material for food and beverages (Glass Packaging Institute, 2017). This paper explores the value chain of recycled glass and the value to manufacturers of glass containers, like Owens - Illinois, Inc., the world’s leading glass packaging manufacturer with 2016 revenues near $6 billion (Owens - Illinois, Inc., 2016).

When fibers or fiber containing material are lost, valuable and scarce material is being lost and thrown away. In addition, costs also increase, since besides the raw material loss, there is a residue to handle, to transport and to dispose away. This residue is also called pollution. For this reason, generating fibrous solid wastes in pulp mills is a great ingenuousness, impacting on our costs and on nature.

  • The Town of Herndon Has Joined Fairfax County's Program to Recover
    The Town of Herndon has joined Fairfax County’s program to recover and recycle glass. Glass is no longer included as part of the town’s single stream recycling process. Glass should not be placed in your curbside pick-up recycling containers. Herndon and Fairfax County have established a glass only recycling drop off container, which is located at the entrance to the Herndon Public Works Shops at 1479 Sterling Road. Residents are encouraged to bring their glass to the town’s “Purple Dumpster” drop off container, reuse glass containers or if not possible, glass should be placed in the trash for disposal. This glass only recycling program will reduce the amount of broken glass that contaminates other recyclable materials in the single stream recycling sorting process, making those materials unrecoverable. Residents who bring their glass recyclables to the town’s purple container can be sure their glass will be recycled responsibly. All colors of emptied glass bottles and jars are acceptable materials for glass drop-off. Food residue from jars should be rinsed out before placing glass in the bins. Items that are not accepted include food, plastic bags, lamps or light bulbs, ceramics, porcelain, mirrors, windows, and glass sheets. Fairfax County has worked with local jurisdictions, to include the Town of Herndon, to establish the “Purple Can Club” to collect and reuse glass taken out of the single stream recycling program. Beginning in January 2020, a new glass recycling partnership was established to improve glass recycling for Fairfax County and Herndon. Working with North America’s largest glass recycler, Strategic Materials, glass from the town’s purple container will be processed at one of their recycling facilities.

  • CRT Glass Recycling Survey Results
    CRT Glass Recycling Survey Results August 4, 2004 Basel Action Network The following chart represents the reported results of a first-ever public survey undertaken by the Basel Action Network (BAN) in an effort to encourage more transparency among recyclers and processors of leaded glass from cathode ray tubes or CRTs (TVs and monitors). While the survey raises a number of questions and leaves room for interpretation, it represents an important daylighting of the current practice regarding the most toxic and costly electronic waste management in the US. Because of the environmental and occupational risks and costs involved in handling the leaded glass here in the US, the collapsing US market for manufacturing new CRTs, and the economic incentives to sell US hazardous waste to anyone rather than pay to have it properly handled, non-working CRTs are highly prone to being shipped to developing nations, frequently in violation of existing international laws or norms. CRTs and leaded glass cullet are specifically listed (in Annex VIII) of the Basel Convention as a globally regulated waste. The Basel Convention, under Article 4(5), does not permit Parties to the Convention to trade in hazardous wastes with non-Parties, e.g. the US, Afghanistan, etc. BAN remains concerned that possibly thousands of tons of this regulated waste are exported every year, likely in violation of the laws of importing nations, and moreover being processed in sub-standard operations without adequate infrastructure to safeguard human health and the environment. At the same time there are a number of US companies that are acting responsibly by properly handling CRT glass, and keeping it in the US or in OECD countries.
