Glasstec is to the glass industry what Glassman is to glass recycling specifically – the broader event, with recovery as one part of a much larger picture.
PICVISA was present at Glasstec 2016, the leading fair of the global glass industry, held from September 20th to 23rd in Messe Düsseldorf, Germany.
Glasstec covers the glass industry broadly – production, processing, machinery and recovery all have a presence at the fair, making it a much larger and more varied event than recycling-specific fairs like Glassman. For PICVISA, attending Glasstec meant putting its glass sorting technology in front of an audience that includes the production side of the glass industry as well as the recovery side – companies whose furnaces ultimately depend on the quality of recovered glass that sorting technology like ECOGLASS helps deliver.
Being present at an event of this scale also situates PICVISA's glass recovery technology within the wider context of the glass industry's own priorities, which can differ somewhat from the priorities of the waste management sector that recovery technology is more often discussed within.
