♻ Recycled Glass Filter Media

Some glass filtration media on the marketplace are produced from virgin glass - increasing the need for quarried materials.
Some glass filtration media only use one or two colours of glass, cherry-picking rather than recycling everything.

Our recycled glass sand is proud to encompass all the colours of glass available - WE RECYCLE 100% of a highly valuable and useful waste stream abandoned by the glass bottle recycling industry which is normally destined for landfill.

Our Recycled Glass Filter Media is a direct replacement for sand, enhancing the performance of a sand filter without the need for additional capital expenditure.

Angular to sub-angular particle shape and bound silica content provides a 30% improvement in turbidity removal over silica sand.
Less susceptible to bio-fouling as, unlike silica sand Glass Filtration Media particles have a smoother surface, so bacteria cannot get trapped in any cracks or flaws, which means less remedial action and again less chemical treatment to destroy pollutants.
