Aquavitrum Limited已经为下一代废物回收技术设计并完成了概念验证试验,该技术将能够在英国每年回收约140万吨未回收的包装玻璃,并将其从垃圾填埋和焚烧等废物流中转移。目前,英国每年消耗250万吨包装玻璃,其中只有110万吨被回收到玻璃产品中,这一比例仅为44%。玻璃的独特之处在于,它可以被无限回收,而不会降低其透明度,它应该被保存下来,而不是被丢弃。我们的技术有能力回收目前没有回收的所有剩余玻璃碎片,无论它是为回收而收集,还是被装在袋子里。它还可以从垃圾填埋场采矿活动中回收玻璃,以进一步减少开采处女地的需要。我们的技术可以利用被其他材料高度污染的极其肮脏的玻璃原料来生产清洁的玻璃小柱。该技术的成功实施将为英国提供巨大的好处,增加这个增长领域的就业机会,减少二氧化碳排放,保护自然资源,为地方议会和废物管理公司节省成本,使家庭更容易回收,并显著提高英国的回收率。
英文摘要
Aquavitrum limited have designed and completed proof of concept trials for the nextgeneration of waste recycling technology which will have the capability to enable therecycling of c 1.4m tonnes of unrecovered packaging glass in the UK, annually, and divert itfrom waste streams such as landfill and incineration.Currently the UK consumes 2.5m tonnes of packaging glass annually with only 1.1m tonnesbeing recycled back into glass products, which is only 44%. Glass is unique in that it can beinfinitely recycled without degrading its clarity and it should be preserved not disposed of.Our technology has the capability of recovering all the remaining glass cullet that is currentlynot recycled, whether it is collected for recycling or contained within blag bag waste. It canalso recover glass from landfill mining activities to further reduce the need to quarry virginsand.Our technology can take extremely dirty glass based feedstocks which are highlycontaminated with other materials and produce clean glass cullet.Successful implementation of the technology will provide huge benefits to the UK inincreasing job opportunities in this growth sector, reduce CO2 emissions, preserve naturalresource, provide costing savings to local councils & waste management companies, makerecycling easier for householders and have a dramatic improvement on the recycling rates inthe UK.
