Flat-glass recycling
"Glass can be recycled any number of times without losing quality. It is crucial to separate and process the different types of waste glass, such as float glass, laminated glass, or insulating glass, by type."
Responsible handling of raw materials
More than 1 million tons of processed flat and container glass per year makes us a leading recycling company in Europe. 100 years of experience and more than 650 employees allow us to enable reuse of high-quality processed cullet as a secondary raw material in the various glass industries and melting applications at 12 glass sites in Germany and abroad.

Flat glass collection – it’s your decision
In order to achieve the best possible processing results, the various types of glass waste must be collected in as pure a form as possible. We offer you individual container solutions for this purpose: from the 1.1 m³ transfer containers, 5-10 m³ large skip containers to the 15-30 m³ large roll-off containers. Your individual needs, as well as the quantity and type of glass waste generated, are decisive here. Collection of float glass, laminated glass, windshields and insulating glass, as well as mixed fractions of different glasses, is, of course possible.
In addition, we also accept windows with PVC frames as part of our Rewindo partnership. We will be happy to advise you personally on the disposal solution that best suits you and your needs! Feel free to contact us!
Shared responsibility
We achieve a consistent reduction of CO2 emissions, as well as a responsible use of available resources, together by collecting and recycling your glass waste.
However, traders are already subject to regulations on the separate collection of waste in this respect! For example, the commercial waste ordinance (Gewerbeabfallverordnung) stipulates that waste such as paper, wood, glass, and metals must be separated at the point of generation. This is the only way to ensure that the waste is recycled to the highest possible quality. We will support you – of course also on site – with an optimised disposal solution for you, as well as with the officially required disposal certificates.
Highest quality standards
The requirements of the glassworks to purity of the prepared cullet are very high. Even small amounts of impurities may lead to enclosures in the glass or discolouration. The float glass tank will be damaged in the most extreme case.
We use cutting-edge processing technology such as X-ray fluorescence analysis in order to meet the strict glassworks specifications if any non-glass materials end up in the collection container after all. We played a major role in development of this technique, which is now used worldwide. The innovative processing steps allow removal of CSP (ceramic-stone-porcelain), FE metals, and non-ferrous metals, as well as glass ceramics, lead-containing glasses, and organic substances from the collected glass waste. As a result, our recyclates can be used in virtually any melting application to add value.
