EcoSand

Glass containers such as wine bottles and jam jars equate to approximately 10% of the volume and 25% of the weight of the average household's rubbish. This can be separated and collected by local authorities as part of their recycling programmes. Glass can readily be recycled by Day Aggregates in our reprocessing facilities.

The Process

The glass is crushed, graded to size and washed to produce a clean‘washed glass sand. The use of Ecosand rather than extracted or dredged natural sand helps designers and contractors address issues of sustainability.

Uses for Recycled Aggregates

EcoSand, a recycled glass product, is used as a paving sand under block paving and concrete slabs. EcoSand offers an effective use for waste material and addresses issues of sustainability. Once used as an aggregate, EcoSand can be recycled endless times. EcoSand is the ideal local use for recycled glass.
