With more than 40 years' experience in waste management under its belt, the ALBA Group is also qualified to handle the expert disposal of used glass. This valuable, environmentally friendly material has always been of interest in the field of recycling, since glass can be melted down and reshaped as often as desired, with virtually no loss of quality. For households and private consumers, the glass experts at the ALBA Group collect packaging made of so-called hollow glass - pickle jars, for instance, or wine bottles. After the sorting process, the various types of glass are sent for correct recycling.
Glass: an infinitely recyclable resource
High standards for a delicate raw material
Colour separation for high-quality glass recycling
ALBA gives households and private consumers the choice of bringing their used glass to a collection point or having it picked up. We provide "igloo containers" on streets, or special bins for every private home – the system used varies by every community,. The key to high-quality recycling is to make sure the glass is carefully sorted by colour in advance. Clear glass, for example, needs to be sorted separately. Green glass is less affected by other colours, so there is no harm in putting other colours such as blue into the green glass container.
