𝐎-𝐈 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐛 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐨 O-I México and glass recycler SILICE have inaugurated a #glass recycling hub in Chihuahua, #Mexico. The hub plans to process 300 tons of glass per month; glass is collected locally, then brought to the location. After being processed at the hub, the glass will be reused at O-I’s plant in #Monterrey, Mexico, providing part of the raw material used in making glass. Randy Burns, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Affairs Officer for O-I Glass, said: “Our goal is to use at least 50% recycled glass by 2030. “We have taken action in many parts of the world towards this target, and most recently announced our mobile recycling programme, MOGRA, in North America. This co-operation with SILICE in Mexico is expected to get us yet another step closer.” SILICE was founded in 2020 by two local entrepreneurs and engineers, Paulina Rascón and Ashly Hinojos. During the Covid-19 #pandemic, Ms Rascón and Ms Hinojos started the company, focusing on establishing strategic alliances with collection centres, bars, and restaurants for efficient glass collection. Ms Hinojos said: “One bottle can make a big difference. We are committed to continuing to drive this change.” #glassindustry #sustainability #recycling #rawmaterials

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐒𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐈-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 CelSian Glass & Solar has been awarded an MIT Grant for a collaborative research project on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the efficiency of glass #production. The ‘Quality prediction and simulation optimisation for glass production’ project will explore the use of AI in predicting #glass quality. CelSian Glass & Solar will collaborate on this #research with Ignition Computing, a company that specialises in complex numerical solvers for fusion #energy and multiphysics problems. The project's goal is the development of an AI-accelerated CFD application and integration with an AI-based quality prediction model for #industrial glass #manufacturing. By accelerating #simulation #software in the glass industry, the project will reduce product losses, thereby substantially reducing costs as well as CO2, NOx, and SOx emissions into the atmosphere.

The fate of emblematic French tableware group Duralex will be decided on July 26 after a commercial court postponed its decision. The Orléans commercial court, after having analysed three takeover bids for six hours on Wednesday 17 July and postponed its decision until next Friday. The glass manufacturing site in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin (Loiret), a town in the Orléans metropolitan area of #France employs 228 people. The first offer is that of the Société coopérative de production (Scop). Supported by 60% of the staff and led by the site management, the company is proposing to keep the entire workforce, and has obtained the support of local elected officials. No fewer than 150 employees of the company in favour of the project have already invested €500 of their own money said the workers union. The second offer is that of SARL Tourres et Cie, owned by Stéphanie and Adrien Tourres. Owner of two Waltersperger glassworks in Seine-Maritime, the company plans to keep 183 employees, and to establish technical and commercial synergies within the group. The third offer comes from Carlesimo Investissements/GCB Investissements, a family-owned industrial group that owns two foundries. It is only offering to take over 125 employees. #glass #industry #engineering #manufacturing #madeinfrance #packaging
