The MISAPOR principle
Collect glass
Switzerland achieves a top rate of over 95% in glass recycling, thanks to the support of over 1 million inhabitants who help with disposal.
Upcycling
High collection rates lead to surpluses, as not all used glass can be used. The recycling approach must therefore be expanded in order to create new, resource-saving products.
Product Design
MISAPOR has developed a building material from recycled glass that is sustainable, requires no maintenance and can be reused after use.
Production / Products
The ground waste glass is expanded in continuous furnaces to seven times its original volume. This preserves the essential properties of the glass.
Distribution
Thanks to the low weight of foam glass gravel, transportation becomes more efficient, reducing costs and times.
Applications / Installation
MISAPOR foam glass gravel is used in building construction and civil engineering, gardening and landscaping, infrastructure and road construction, as well as in numerous special applications.
