Is glass a recyclable resource?

Is glass a recyclable resource?

Answer:

Building brick: using waste glass as a raw material, adding amount of the plasticity of clay material, pelletizing, forming, sintering, sintering at a temperature of 950 to 1050 DEG C for 180 210min can be prepared the production of building brick, the product with alkali resistance, high strength, not easy to fade and aging etc..
Glass asphalt: used as a filler for asphalt roads. The utility model can be used for mixing glass, stone and ceramic without color sorting. The use of glass as an asphalt road filler has several advantages over other materials: to improve the skid resistance of the pavement; to improve wear resistance; to improve the visibility of the road surface and to enhance the visual effect at night.
Glass ceramic material: glass ceramics, hard texture, high mechanical strength, chemical stability and good thermal stability. But at present, the cost of traditional materials used in glass ceramics is higher. Glass ceramics made from float process and fly ash from power plants have been used to replace glass ceramics to produce glass ceramics successfully.
Paint raw materials: the use of waste glass and waste tires broken into fine powder, according to a certain proportion into the paint, can replace the coating of silica and other materials.
Glass raw materials: after the waste glass is collected, sorted and treated, it is used as the raw material for the production of glass. This is the main way to recycle the waste glass. Waste glass can be used for glass products in low chemical composition, color, impurity requirements of production, such as colored glass bottles, glass insulator, hollow glass brick, glass, embossed glass trough and colored glass balls and other glass products. These products waste glass doping amount is higher than 30wt%, green products and waste glass mixing amount can reach more than 80wt%.
