Automated Glass Sorting Line

Automated Glass Sorting Line

WasteServ is investing in a new automated glass sorting line.

With a capacity to process around 10 tonnes of glass per hour - equivalent to 52,500 glass bottles every hour – this new automated line will be sorting glass bottles and jars whilst separating clear from coloured glass. It will also have the ability to sort flat glass offcuts coming from the commercial sector.

Besides increasing operational efficiency, this €2 million investment will also lead to better quality glass that will ultimately be transformed into other products as part of a circular economy approach.

This project is partially financed by the European Union, as part of the Cohesion Funds - Structural Funds and European Investment 2014-2020.
