The UK manufactures 750,000 tonnes of flat glass each year, three quarters of which goes into glazing products for buildings. In the UK, we generate almost 200,000 tonnes of post-consumer glass waste each year. Much of this goes to landfill or is crushed into aggregate. Glass is the perfect material for recycling, capable of 100% reuse within a modern circular economy. The main barrier to using more recycled glass for flat glass manufacture is the availability of recovered glass of an acceptable quality. This is because any slight contamination of the recycled glass used to manufacture flat glass will cause rejectable defects and result in several days of lost production, effectively cancelling out the environmental and cost benefits of recycling. Currently the recycled content of flat glass produced in the UK is between 20%--30%. I3D Robotics supported by Glass Technology Services aim to produce an integrated instrument capable of detecting contamination on recovered flat glass glazing products to encourage greater use of recycled content. This will enable recovery and support future development of circular economies for the UK's built environment, materials production, waste & recovery industries which have been dramatically impacted on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

英国每年生产75万吨平板玻璃，其中四分之三用于建筑玻璃产品。在英国，我们每年产生近20万吨消费后玻璃废物。其中大部分被填埋或被碾碎成骨料。玻璃是完美的回收材料，在现代循环经济中能够100%重复使用。使用更多的回收玻璃制造平板玻璃的主要障碍是可接受质量的回收玻璃的可用性。这是因为用于制造平板玻璃的回收玻璃的任何轻微污染都会导致可拒绝的缺陷，并导致几天的生产损失，有效地抵消了回收的环境和成本效益。目前，英国生产的平板玻璃的回收含量在20%- 30%之间。由玻璃科技服务公司支持的I3D机器人公司旨在生产一种能够检测回收平板玻璃上釉产品污染的综合仪器，以鼓励更多地使用回收材料。这将使英国的建筑环境、材料生产、废物和回收行业能够恢复并支持循环经济的未来发展，这些行业受到COVID-19大流行的巨大影响。
