From Glass Bottles to Stone: The Incredible Transformation Process!

[@watchthe1369]

I would rather see glass bottles recycled into more glass bottles in an effort to replace plastic bottles.

[@gregmarsters2434]

Probably it is cheaper to use virgin clear glass than process recycled glass to make it look like new clear glass. Or there is some kind of subsidy game being played.

[@АгронДепартье]

@@gregmarsters2434Why not look like recycled glass ?

[@gregmarsters2434]

@@АгронДепартье Yea marketing and consumer psychology is more black magic than science.

[@AnnCaa]

While recycling glass bottles may seem like a logical solution, glass recycling is a very energy-intensive process. Heating glass to high temperatures to melt it down and reuse it takes more energy than recycling plastic, and can release more CO2. So glass recycling is not a complete solution if the goal is to reduce our carbon footprint.

[@jessegee179]

I’d rather glass bottles were reused, it could be done but business won’t invest in collecting and cleaning

[@ken76918]

Glass is not waste, it can be infinitely recycled into new glass. Now if we could make this from plastics, that would be very useful.

[@LordGizmo]

It’s amazing what can be made from old glass.

[@celticphoenix2579]

There are people turning old plastics into construction material, but scalability is a concern. I have seen chips pressed into interlocking flat brick forms, injection molded lego style bricks, soda bottles filled with everything from empty bread bags to sand and concreted into a wall form. I have also seen clothing, bedding and planters made from recycled plastics. The biggest concern there is microplastics and cost of the process. Frankly glass is a far superior product given its recycling record.

[@Amipotsophspond]

how much energy does this take, or depending on ideology how much carbon or money does it cost. the real cost not with subsidies that are just playing a shell game to hide the cost.

[@celticphoenix2579]

@Amipotsophspond honestly no idea. A lot. Things done on a small scale always cost a lot more than those which have been scaled up. To get to the point of scaling them up though, requires there to be a need and the political will to get the job done. So long as the companies pumping out billions of bottles a minute are given tax breaks and permitted to buy politicians to prevent corrective legislation, nothing will improve in the litter problem because greed is a powerful motivator. If laws can be pushed through to only give tax breaks and subsidies to those corporations who are actively helping the world as a whole, then we might have a chance. I'm not holding my breath though...

Worse than gold mining dust, stay away from the dust it causes silicosis

Fantasztikus video köszi! Lord Gizmo,üdvözlet!

[@LordGizmo]

Thank you

[@atoitoh2989]

Very interesting, and well done video !

[@BlackHornet-s8s]

Yes returning it to original form on sand, perfect recycling way. From other side sand are heated on machine to make glass containers and figurin.

[@patboyd1587]

I’d be more interested in how all those machines are designed and made. Very complex stuff.

[@131dyana]

Amazing.

[@Pbav8tor]

I remaiin unconvinced we need to waste energy creating artificial pumice. I didn't know there was a shortage.

[@chaosordeal294]

Love how you watermarked video that you didn't shoot and almost certainly don't own.

[@ausfoodgarden]

Yep most of the footage seems to be ripped straight from the Saaya Inc website (makers of Supersol)

[@SuperVlerik]

Seems like a lot of embodied energy for an "eco-friendly product".

[@Kricnit]

If the employees require dust masks to apply on the soil, then it's not safe for the general public. Who thinks it's a good idea to breathe glass dust?

[@HectorFabela-k6u]

What you are referring to is called silica. It exists on the beach and in sand dunes. It isn't good to breathe it. But it is naturally present all around us.

[@sherijobe9754]

I never will forget seeing molten glass melting the side of a second story building. I did security and dispatch from from this location and having to call for the fire department to cool the building and treating one person. I knew these people and just thankful everyone was okay.

[@josvandiepen3425]

Revolutionizing the way we recycle glas? Strange, we recycle it in glas again!!!!!

[@samhendrix378]

Yeah and the glass particles coming out of the dust gets in your lungs in your dead

[@robertroy6094]

What a colossal waste of water

[@Noneyabusinessok]

The water is being used and cleaned like they do in gold mining. They showed you the sediment going to the bottom and the water being used again, and again. Just like they do in gold digging.

[@iridios6127]

Idiocracy in full bloom: 1.mine minerals and make glass; 2.collect glass, make minerals from it. Useless cycle of idiocracy. Just waist a bunch of energy and leave a giant carbon footprint.

[@alesh2275]

Sorting glass by color is the most finicky part of the process. How is it done?

[@joepaullawncare7222]

[@bobbylittle6996]

Can it be used in concrete to make it lighter?

[@willgallatin2802]

Glass is one of the oldest and most recycled products we have. This is just a gimmick to promote more mining for silica.

[@Blue.4t2]

what is the actual name of the product?

[@mikerakow5]

SUPERSOL Made by Saaya Inc. in Katy Texas

no silicosis from the silicon dust

Questionably dangerous dust & throbbing headache music. I turned it off at about 6 minutes.

[@rickwhite4137]

In the US, 30% of glass is recirculated. In Sweden, 90%!

[@calrob300]

They'll be grinded, huh? Even the spellcheck knew better and changed it! AI with a British accent? Is that supposed to make it more believable?

[@KennethC43]

Who would have thought sand could be made out of glass looks like a geniuses 501C non profit because there is no profit in recycling.

[@AnnCaa]

The transformation from glass to stone is an impossible process based on current principles of chemistry and physics. Glass and stone have completely different structures and compositions - glass is amorphous while stone is mostly crystalline. There is no solid scientific evidence to support the idea that glass can be “turned” into stone through any known natural or technological process.

[@Radio_FM_3123]

It would be a lot easier to recycle the old glass bottles.

[@kennethcapron1294]

Replace plastic with glass and recycle everything.

The ominous music triggered a horrible anxiety attack and i had to take xanax. Then he called the silica sand 'moist' and i had a seizure. very dangerous here. Run.
