Manufactured glass sand made from 100% recovered glass
iQRenew has built a purpose fit ‘Virtual Quarry’ in Wyong, NSW. The state-of-the-art facility processes glass, of all colours, collected through Council kerbside recycling.
Key features of the Virtual Quarry manufacturing process include:
- Air separation process to remove light contaminants and reduce odours
- Comprehensive wash and clean system to remove residual sugars and remaining contaminants
- Vertical shaft impactor used to crush glass through velocity ‘sand on sand’ processing to produce rounded particles
- In-built rotary drying process to ensure less than 1% moisture content
- Precision figure-eight screening sieve for product grading and quality control
- Production of five different grades of recycled manufactured glass sand products: Coarse, Medium, Fine, Superfine and Moondust
To date, iQRenew’s Virtual Quarry has processed and beneficially reused over 200,000 tonnes of recovered glass, to produce a high-quality manufactured aggregate sand substitute for application in a range of civil and construction uses.
The Opportunity
Australians recycle almost one million tonnes of glass every year, meaning around 3.8 billion glass products are diverted from landfill, to be recycled annually. The benefits of iQRenew’s crushed glass sand are:
- High quality product with similar properties to natural sand
- Locally produced, Australian made product
- Cost efficient substitute
- Safe amorphous silica
- Local job creation
- Reducing impact of landfill
- Energy efficient refining process
- Less reliance on natural resources
- Less carbon emissions
- Infinitely recyclable.
