In the pursuit of a more sustainable world, glass remains one of the most promising materials due to its ability to be recycled endlessly without loss in quality. However, improper sorting continues to be a bottleneck in the recycling process, leading to contamination, material loss, and increased processing costs. Today, intelligent glass sorting is emerging as a solution to these persistent issues.
By combining advanced sensors, machine learning, and real-time automation, modern glass sorting systems are delivering unmatched precision and scalability. In this article, we explore the challenges posed by traditional sorting methods, the game-changing benefits of smart glass sorting, and how facilities can make the shift toward a more efficient and sustainable future.
Despite its recyclability, glass remains underutilized in the circular economy due to outdated sorting practices.
Glass waste often arrives broken and mixed with other materials like plastics, metals, and ceramics. Manual and mechanical sorting systems struggle to separate this complex stream, resulting in high levels of cross-contamination that reduce the value of recycled output.
Traditional systems typically use basic optical sensors to sort glass by color. These systems have difficulty detecting subtle shade variations or dirty/stained glass, leading to misclassification and lower purity levels in the final cullet.
Guangzhou SUIBO focuses on the recycling of glass industry and is committed to the development and application of optical sorting system, and is the leading supplier of optical sorting technology in China. SUIBO has developed a new generation of domestic glass color sorter that can comfortably cope with various complex working conditions, with very high sorting efficiency and excellent reliability. At the same time, SUIBO's professional technical team can provide customers with a complete glass sorting process, such as dry, semi-dry, wet and so on.
