Recycling all types of glasses, for virtually unlimited reuse
EVERGLASS is a 3-years EU funded project which will develop a new technology to recycle glass using laser.
The issue
Current glass recycling exclude multiple types of glass that end up in landfills
Current recycling technology is very energy-intensive
It’s also inflexible in terms of location and what the production process can do
To fix this, EVERGLASS will develop a new machine that will allow recycling of all types of glass using lasers that will shape the glass waste into new products.
Expected Impacts
New knowledge about glass composition and recycling technologies
Greatly diminish the amount of glass ending up in landfills
Develop and improve a novel research field
Improve the glass circular economy
Our technological world creates more and more unrecyclable glass such as the ones used for smartphones and computer screens.
EVERGLASS hopes to solves this issue in the next three years.
We are 6 partners spread over 4 countries
Inspired to find a solution for all types of glass waste.
