What can waste glass be made? Explore the extremes of recycling and reuse
With the improvement of environmental awareness, recycling and reuse of waste glass has become a hot topic. Nearly sob p>150 million tons, but the recovery rate is less than 30%. How to turn waste glass into treasure? The following is a collection of hot contents on the entire network in the past 10 days, combining data and cases to reveal the innovative uses of waste glass.
1. Basic reuse of waste glass
| use | Percentage | |
|---|---|---|
| New glass products raw materials | 45% | Bottles and cans, flat glass |
| Building materials | 30% | Glass bricks, asphalt admixtures |
| Industrial auxiliary materials | 15%Abrasives, reflective coatings | |
| other | 10% | Artwork, filler |
Data shows that nearly 50% of waste glass is remelted into new glass products through a furnace, but this process consumes a high energy consumption. therefore,Reuse method of low energy consumptionIt has become the focus of recent hot discussion.
2. Innovative application: Popular directions in 2024
Forest1.3D printing materials: A German laboratory crushed the waste glass and combined with resin to print out building components with a light transmittance of 92%.
2. For the future,Waste glass may become a potential material for new energy batteries.
3. Comparison of global waste glass recycling policies
| nation | Recovery rate | Policies Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Sweden | 98% | Deposit system + color classification mandatory |
| Japan | 85% | Community refined recycling network | 2025 target 50% |
China's recycling rate is low, but recently"mosp;>There are a large number of latest research papers on waste glass utilization in the journals of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, indicating that the scientific research community has paid a significant increase in attention to this.
4. Five issues that users are most concerned about (hot words on the whole network)
Through structured data and hot spot analysis, it can be seen that the recycling of waste glass has been upgraded from "environmental protection proposition" to "technological and economic proposition". In the future, with the dual-wheel drive of policies and technology, the value of its industrial chain may usher in explosive growth. The next time you finish drinking, your glass bottle may become the flash reflective surface of a building - this is no longer a science fiction scene.
