Objective
European countries with no wine production import considerably more package glass than they can recycle in current closed- or open-loop solutions. In case of Stenberg-Yhtiot Oy, a glass collecting and sorting plant, it is essential to find new open-loop markets for recycled glass. Present markets can be greatly broadened by utilizing the recycled glass as a valuable raw material in the production of building elements, tiles, concrete blocks and castables. The objectives of the project are: (1 ) to find the requirements for the recycled glass treatment, especially for the particle size distribution, (2) find the additives to prepare a workable mixture, (3) optimise the production technology for tiles, concrete elements and castables, (4) harmonize the technical specifications of the products and (5) develope end-products with high added-value. The advantages of the project are: (1 ) substantial increase in recycled glass utilization, (2) lowering of rawmaterial costs, (3) broadening the usability of castables-technology and (4) showing a true realisation of the principles of sustainable development (with up to 99% usage of recycled materials in the product). The consortium is comprehensive including both the raw material supplier (Stenberg-Yhtiot Oy who takes care of recycled glass collecting and its treatment) and the building element producers: tiies (Woolliscroft), concrete elements (Partner 4) and castables (ABR Innova Oy).
