The UTE Explotación Onda plant now runs two ECOGLASS units side by side, a setup that reflects how glass valorization works best when sorting capacity is matched to the volume and variety of material a plant actually handles.

ECOGLASS for efficient glass separation

ECOGLASS uses optical sensors to separate glass by colour and to identify and remove contaminants – ceramics, stones, opaque glass, metal – that would otherwise reduce the value of the recovered cullet. Running two units in parallel allows the plant to process higher volumes while maintaining the separation accuracy each stream needs.

A new PICVISA's optical separator success story

For PICVISA, installations like this one are proof that the technology performs at scale, not just in pilot conditions – and for the plant operator, it means more recovered glass reaching the quality threshold required for remelting into new glass products, rather than being downgraded or lost to residue.
