SS Developments on Glass

  • Low Value and Abrasive

– Operators want to get it out early and can’t dedicate much capital on cleaning it up

  • Document Shredding

– Greatly increases glass contamination

  • Increased Residue

– Average up from <10% to >16% in the past 5 years

Issues For Glass Clean-Up

  • Moisture

– Regional and seasonal – Fiber sticks to the glass

  • Organic Contamination

– Wet organic food waste acts like glass

  • Long Part Contamination

– Toothbrushes, Pens, etc.

  • Glass Fines (<8-10mm)
