High-Purity Glass Cullet

Suomen Uusioaines Ltd of Forssa, Finland, is the country's largest glass recycling organisation and operates the most modern recycling facility in the Nordic countries. Suomen says that it can now guarantee that its recycled cullet contains less than 10g per tonne of ceramics, less than 5g/t aluminium or iron and less than 5g/t lead. Ceramic content is frequently as low as 1-2g/t. Organic impurities are guaranteed not to exceed 500g/t and humidity 2%. These high standards result from the use of new crushing and sorting machinery and of the latest purification technology.
