First glass recycling plant set up here

The first recycling plant in Singapore that can repurpose glass waste into new products opened on Tuesday and it is diverting large amounts of glass waste from the Semakau landfill, which is estimated to fill up by 2035.

Capable of processing up to five tonnes of glass waste an hour, the 16,000 sq m facility - run by Abraclean can process up to 12,000 tonnes of glass waste annually.

The recycled glass product will be used to produce Abrablast, a patented abrasive that removes unwanted coatings such as rust and paints from metal surfaces in industrial applications.
