<p>Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Basics=<br /> *This page aims to cover the [[Recycling]] of [[Glass]]<br /> *This page largely covers “Grind and Use” Strategies, as well as Recycling to “Drop In” Replacement for New Glass<br /> **[[Creative Reuse]] is largely covered on that page<br /> **[[Crushed Recycled Glass as Aggregate]] (A Potential form of [[Downcycling]] ) is covered on that page<br /> <br /> =Methods=<br /> ==Sort, Shred, and Use==<br /> *This method relies HEAVILY on Sorting Equipment / A Controlled/Verified “Clean” Source of Glass<br /> *That and/or Minimal Standards for Said Glass (Such as an Opaque Brown/Grey Color is Allowable vs Crystal Clear etc)<br /> *Especially if integrated with a [[Deposit and Return System]] or with [[Pre-Consumer Recycling]] / [[Product End of Life Return Systems]] , it IS doable.<br /> *Main downsides are lack of (easy) control, and potentially lower quality material<br /> *Also more expensive than mining etc (Although from a sustainability standpoint this SHOULDN’T matter, especially if legislation backs up “doing the right thing” )<br /> <br /> ==Thermal Processing==<br /> *Use of [[Flux]] in a Molten Glass mixture could POTENTIALLY “upgrade” it<br /> *While potentially more complex, [[Float Zone Refining]] is HEAVILY used for Clarifying other materials such as [[Silicon Boules]]<br /> **A similar process but for Shredded+Sorted+Remelted and Cast into a Boule Glass May work as well<br /> <br /> =Internal Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> =External Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> [[Category: Glass]] [[Category: Waste Management]]</div>
