About

End-of-life frames pose a real problem for waste managers. The main constraint, due to the strict acceptance criteria of glass furnaces, is to ensure impeccable glass quality. As a result, the logistics between the drop-off location and the recycler are crucial. The project proposal is to remove this obstacle by dismantling and sorting directly on site.

Retrival aims through this project to provide a more sustainable and efficient solution: to process and recover all the glass on site that can be directly delivered as raw material to the factory while meeting the specifications of the manufacturers. This project intends to reduce the CO2 footprint of one ton of glass produced.
