At glassAdvantage, we start with post-consumer glass in the form of bottles, broken windows, and various other waste glass.
This glass is crushed into small pieces that will then be fed into a burner that applies heat and tumbles the glass until all the labels and other unwanted materials burn off, leaving clean, tumbled glass pieces.
Onced the glass is cleaned, the tumbled pieces are sent through
strong magnets to filter out any metal pieces and other debris. This filtered glass is then crushed into the desired sizes, from course all the way down to a fine powder.
Once the desired product size is achieved and carefully
screened for accuracy, the glass media is bagged in either 50 lb bags, or 3000 lb bags, ready for shipment.
