RECYCLED CULLET: IMPACT AND USAGE (ADVANCED TRAINING)
Glass is unique; as a material, it offers true cradle-to-cradle circularity. Higher cullet usage is a strategy which will help move the glass industry to a lower-carbon future. However, the quality of post-consumer cullet can have a significant impact on final glass quality. Managing cullet within a plant is also critical in achieving stable operations. This course will cover all aspects of industrial cullet use, diving into managing risks and gaining maximum benefits from recycled glass.
Contents
• A visit to a cullet processing facility
• Types of cullet
• General inspection techniques for cullet
• Best practices for cullet management in a manufacturing plant – both post-consumer and plant-return glass
• Impact of cullet on production: energy, glass quality, color, asset wear, and lifetime
• Technologies used to clean, separate, and inspect cullet
• Overview of US glass recycling policy, landscape and infrastructure – challenges and opportunities
After the training you will
• Have a clear overview of the sources of cullet and techniques used industrially to clean and refine the stream
• Perform a cullet inspection and be aware of common contaminants before they enter a furnace
• Understand cullet’s benefits and the risks that contaminants pose to production.
• Understand the challenges to cullet collection and refinement and have an overview of available technologies.
