Revolutionary UK Recyling System Wins in the USA

A British company using a revolutionary glass Implosion technique has secured a substantial contract to install one of its glass processors in a new recycling facility in Pennsylvania, the first customer in North America to install the company's invention.

Krysteline, based in Dorset has a worldwide patent on the glass Implosion process that renders glass sharp free, transforming a waste product normally destined for landfill into high value industrial products, such as grit blast abrasive, water filtration media and sports turf dressing.

The highly durable Imploder replaces traditional glass crushers such as hammer mills, impact crushers, and jaw and cone crushers whilst consuming less than a quarter of the power, and is available in a range of sizes and specifications. When integrated with a computer controlled waterless purification system, the GPS delivers fine sterile glass crystals ideally suited to a range of new markets.

LCL Industries Inc. situated northwest of Philadelphia, is investing more than$6 million into the project where 25 jobs will be created to recycle 30,000 tons of waste glass each year. Supported by the US Department of the Environment and Protection, LCL is installing a $3 million Krysteline GPS15 Implosion system at the new 12,500 square metre Deer Lake facility North West of Philadelphia.

From project inception in 2006 the Pennsylvania Recycled Market Centre also played a key role in the testing, prototyping, and validation of new US markets for Krysteline refined products. LCL has also been recognised by Krysteline as its North American contact for its range of glass Implosion equipment which comprises high performance industrial processors, integrated Imploders for MRF operators, and small commercial units for clubs, pubs and hotel owners.

'Krysteline has proudly partnered with LCL Industries and the Recycling Markets Centre to make this project a reality,' said Stefan Michal, Managing Director, Krysteline. 'Further, we have received a very warm reception from the Department of Environmental Protection in Pennsylvania and believe this facility will now make a significant contribution to the state by transforming what is essentially landfill waste into a valuable product for US industry.'

The recent ribbon cutting ceremony marked the culmination of nearly two years' work aimed at revolutionising glass recycling in Pennsylvania. 'We are excited to launch our business at a time when Pennsylvania has been so supportive of our green manufacturing effort.' said Laura Baranko, Vice-President and Partner, LCL Industries, Inc.

'Pennsylvania recognises that there are innovative companies out there that are working hard to find new, novel ways to preserve our natural resources by recycling existing materials and creating other products,' said Department of Environmental Protection Deputy Secretary Thomas Fidler. 'With this project, just as with other exciting recycling projects across the commonwealth, we'reinvesting our resources to help build demand on the part of manufacturers for recovered glass, metal, plastic, paper and other recyclable materials. That leads to a stronger recycling market in Pennsylvania, a stronger economy, and a cleaner environment.'
