A new concept for processing redundant fibreglass and composite industry waste, christened CompoCycle, has been developed by two German companies, Zajons and Holcim (Deutschland) AG. CompoCycle uses a patented process to convert fibreglass waste into a raw material for cement manufacture. Fiberline is the first Danish company to join the recycling scheme, which will have significance for many industries using fibreglass. In the process, Fiberline sends its fibreglass waste to Zajons. At Zajons the fibreglass enters a giant grinder where its calorific value is adjusted by the addition of other types of recycling materials in a patented process. The finished recycling mix is sent to Holcim, which feeds the mix to its production kilns in northern Germany which make the finished cement. This saves significant amount of resources and no dusts, ash or other by-products are formed in the process. * Material impact: recycling 1000 tonnes of fibreglass through the process saves around 450 tonnes of coal, 200 tonnes of chalk, 200 tonnes of sand and 150 tonnes of aluminium oxide Read more at:
