There are a lot of benefits to recycling glass, hilary chiew wrote, but there is little practice here.
There is very little recycling of glass here.
There are three glass bottle manufacturers in Malaysia who produce 600 tons of new bottles per day.
But only 10% of these bottles will eventually return to the factory and be re-used to make new bottles.
Surprisingly, Glass is likely to be the least recycled waste.
Some blame this on the low value of the old bottle.
\"The price of glass is not high.
We get less than 1 kg of our income, \"says etista Hashim, director of conservation, who treats each environment in particular (TrEES)
Active Recycling activities were carried out in the Basheng Valley.
To encourage people to recycle glass, glass manufacturers should raise the price of old bottles, she said.
\"People don\'t want to store used glass bottles for collectors because they are heavy and fragile, which poses a danger to families with children,\" said beausta . \".
Her organization collects and sells waste bottles several times a month and promotes the benefits of glass recycling with other recyclable materials.
Astrsta believes that glass manufacturers should play a prominent role in recycling.
Kuala Lumpur glass (KL Glass)
Mohd Hassan Mamat agrees that the price is a frustrating factor in glass recycling.
The value of glass is lower than that of other recyclable materials, such as metal, paper and plastic waste, he said.
He said the company used to distribute collection boxes to residents\' associations and other public organizations, but eventually had to remove all kinds of garbage from the bins.
Recycling bins outside the KL glass factory in batalinjia Jalan Kilang were ignored by the public.
\"We have no resources at all involved in direct collection.
We have to rely on local councils, not
Government organizations and schools organize and send the bottles to us, \"explains Mohd Hassan, who does not have KL glass collection boxes in public places.
The factory has been in operation since 1968, focusing on the production of flink (
Clear glass bottle)
Therefore, color waste bottles such as amber and green bottles are sent to the parent company Malaya glass in Johor.
At present, the company has hired a contractor to collect the money and paid him RM150 per ton in addition to the hiring fee.
The only contractor retrieved the glass bottle from the city\'s hotel, but only brought more than one ton a day.
\"There are days when we can\'t get anything,\" lamented Mohammed Hassan.
Another reason for poor collection is that the number of glass bottles in waste logistics is getting smaller and smaller.
She believes that the use of glass has declined over the years as manufacturers turn to cheaper plastics.
However, Chan Suet Ean, senior business manager at Malaya Glass, said the annual growth in the glass bottle manufacturing industry was between 3% and 5%.
Waste bottles are by no means waste, but raw materials of very high value in glass production, regardless of form-bottles or paper, whether transparent or colored.
The presence of cullet in the furnace reduces the melting point temperature, thus saving fuel.
\"The rule of thumb is that for every 5% cul fish used, we can save 1% of our fuel consumption.
Therefore, recycling glass bottles is of great economic significance, \"said Mohd Hassan.
The KL glass factory uses nearly a hundred million liters of medium fuel oil per month, with a daily output of 230 tons.
Among them, 69 tons (or 30%)
It\'s cullet, half of which are locally collected waste bottles, and the rest are waste products in the factory.
In contrast, the recovery content of Thai glass bottles is as high as 80%, while the recovery content of European glass bottles is between 60-70%.
\"We are trying to keep the ratio of Culai at 30% (of 230 tonnes)
Although we can use more.
\"Due to unpredictable, seasonal and general supply shortages, it is important to stabilize the Culp inputs at a viable level,\" Mohd Hassan said . \".
In order to overcome the cultural shortage, KL Glass has no choice but to look overseas.
Full half truck
Broken glass in Thailand is often transported by truck to the factory.
The factory purchased half of cul fish from New Zealand, Thailand, Sabah and Sarawak states.
Hassan said that although the cost of imported materials is very low, the freight is very high.
For example, the cost of importing old bottles from New Zealand is 25% higher than localsourced cullet.
Hassan was so frustrated by the lack of local cultural supply that he often dared to question the factory\'s decision to import with this line: \"I asked them to guarantee a supply of 500 tons per month.
