From recovery to Abrasive

STEP 1

End-of-life solar panels and CRT displays arrive at CompuPoint USA’s R2v3- and RIOS-certified facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

STEP 2

Solar cover glass and non-leaded CRT panel glass are separated. Leaded CRT funnel glass is kept out and goes only to licensed smelters.

STEP 3

Zafa Glass crushes, screens and lot-tests the glass for RCRA metals, then bags it as blasting media.

Owner stayed late knowing I was driving from Alabama to pick up 4 pallets for a job and personally loaded them. You dont get better service than that. The Crushed glass media is clean and in tarp bags making for less waste. the tarp helps even if the media gets wet it stays contained. Have used a little over 2 tons of this media in the last 2 weeks and its clean and leaves a similar profile to crushed bottle glass. Will be getting some more come first of the year.
