Glass Recycling in Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s Environmental Protection Department (EPD) introduced a glass bottle recycling scheme in Hong Kong which publicly launched 1st November 2018.

The contract for Baguio Waste Management & Recycling Ltd commenced in November 2017 and Krysteline Technologies are pleased to have provided a comprehensive container glass processing plant which incorporates its patented Implosion technology enabling them to process their glass ready for reuse.

Recycled glass sand produced from the Baguio glass processing plant are being used initially as a river sand substitute in creating low CO2 paving bricks. The uneconomically high cost of shipping remelt quality cullet to China to be remade into glass bottles negated this opportunity. The close proximity of an eco-paver manufacturer to the new Krysteline glass processing plant willing to incorporate glass sand within the paving bricks offers a significant overall reduction in CO2 compared to traditional materials.
