Bottle and Fiberglass Manufacturing

How Glass Benefits The Bottle and Fiberglass Manufacturing Industry 

SiONEER is proud to provide glass cullet and furnace feedstock to top bottle and fiberglass manufacturers across the country. Our cullet can be repurposed to make glass bottles and packaging for a wide variety of markets including beer, wine, spirits, non-alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, tableware, and more. As glass is pure, non-reactive, and safe to use over and over again, it acts as the perfect natural barrier being almost impermeable to oxygen, keeping foods and beverages fresh.

Cullet can be used not only in the container and bottle industry, but also for flat (or float glass) like windows, mirrors, and automobile windshields. The use of cullet in fiberglass manufacturing includes building insulation, or glass wool, and textile fibers for the reinforcement of plastics and other materials. Fiberglass can be used in car bodies, boats, insulation in homes, waterpark slides, and even furniture.

Currently, 10-40% of raw materials used by fiberglass insulation manufacturers is recycled glass. The fiberglass sector is the largest secondary market for post consumer and industrial waste glass. SiONEER is pleased to contribute to this market and provide our customers with an energy efficient, recycled glass product that meets all required specifications of both the bottle and fiberglass industry standards.
