Visit to Recyverre, a subsidiary of Sibelco Green Solutions specialising in the collection and recovery of flat glass (laminated, tempered, double glazing), notably from the dismantling of building façades. The plant produces pure cullet, used for flat glass, enamels, bottles, glass wool and road marking. Recyverre notably recovered the glazing of Landscape in Paris La Défense (Dominique Perrault Architecture for Altarea, with Arcora as façade engineer).
Of an estimated 200,000 tonnes per year, only 7,800 tonnes, about 4%, are sorted and recycled (source: Federec, 2019). The rest goes to landfill.
