Glass recycling with MISAPOR
Glass is a universally used and extremely valuable raw material. Together with MISAPOR, you can easily recycle your glass while conserving natural resources.
MISAPOR is a Swiss company, our products are manufactured exclusively in Switzerland and consist of almost 100% recycled glass. MISAPOR foam glass gravel refines the raw material glass into an excellent and sustainable building material that can be used in many different ways. And the short transportation routes are also good for our environment.
The FOEN also considers the use of recycled glass for MISAPOR foam glass to be ecologically valuable and compensates the VEG for glass supplied to MISAPOR in categories 2c and 3a. A concession that makes us proud and enables us to offer you correspondingly higher compensation.
