Overview

Glass recycling in Australia faces several challenges, including contamination, lack of collection infrastructure, and transportation costs. However, there is a growing demand for glass recycling products in the construction and manufacturing sectors, environmental benefits of recycling, and government incentives for companies that invest in glass recyclers and use recycled materials.

Companies can create significant value by processing and selling products from glass recycling despite the challenges. We offer a comprehensive range of glass recyclers that cater to diverse needs, ranging from entry-level crushers that facilitate size reduction to advanced pulverize systems capable of producing sand mix and fine powder mix.


Small Business Glass Crushers

Hotels, restaurants, bars, and clubs generate large volumes of glass waste, mainly from bottles. Managing this efficiently is key to reducing disposal costs, saving space, and improving safety. The WastePac Glass Crusher is a compact, user-friendly solution that reduces glass volume by up to 80%, cutting down on bin pickups and freeing up storage. It’s ideal for small venues with limited space, allowing staff to process bottles easily on-site.

For businesses handling higher volumes or needing flexibility, the Andela AGC1 offers a portable, heavy-duty alternative. With abrasion-resistant parts and a conveyor-fed design, it processes up to 3 tonnes per hour. Its patented impactor technology creates consistent cullet while allowing caps and labels to pass through, reducing maintenance.

Both systems support sustainability by diverting glass from landfill and lowering emissions from transport. Whether in a single venue or shared across multiple sites, these crushers offer reliable, space-efficient waste solutions for hospitality businesses.

 

Wastepac Glass Crusher

Efficiently crush bulky glass bottles and reduce bin collections with a 5:1 compaction ratio. Ideal for space-saving waste management.

Andela AGC1

Portable glass crusher with 3T/hr capacity, abrasion-resistant build, and conveyor feed. Ideal for medium to high-volume cullet processing and product destruction.

Mid Level Pulversing Systems

The Andela GP-MINI is a compact yet capable mid-level glass pulverising system, ideal for small to medium-sized businesses such as hotels, resorts, clubs, and remote hospitality venues. With a throughput of up to 500kg per hour, it strikes the perfect balance between size and performance, making it suitable for sites that produce moderate volumes of glass waste but lack space for larger equipment.

Unlike traditional crushers, the GP-MINI uses patented impactor technology to produce a sand-and-aggregate mix known as “safe-glass”, a finely crushed product with no sharp edges. This makes it safer to handle and suitable for reuse in landscaping, drainage, or construction. It also includes built-in screening to separate out labels, caps, and other contaminants.

Easy to operate and maintain, the GP-MINI helps reduce glass waste volume by up to 80%, cutting disposal costs and bin pickups. For businesses wanting an efficient, sustainable glass processing solution onsite, the GP-MINI offers proven reliability in a compact footprint.

Andela GP-MINI

The Andela GP-Mini is a compact glass pulveriser delivering 500kg/hr throughput. Ideal for remote sites needing safe, eco-friendly glass waste reduction with minimal footprint.

Advanced Pulversing Systems

The Andela GP-1HD and Andela GPT-1HD are advanced glass pulverising systems designed for higher-volume operations such as materials recovery facilities (MRFs), large hospitality venues, councils, and commercial recycling centres. With throughputs ranging from 3 to 10 tonnes per hour, these units deliver industrial-level performance while maintaining a consistent and safe output.

Both systems use Andela’s patented flexible impactor technology to convert mixed MRF glass into a blend of safe-glass sand and aggregate, free from sharp edges. Contaminants like labels, caps, ceramics, and metals are screened out efficiently, allowing the glass to be repurposed for civil works, landscaping, or drainage. The GP-1HD is ideal for maximum throughput with durability in mind, while the GPT-1HD typically includes a surge hopper, feed conveyor, and sizing trommel for precise material separation.

These heavy-duty systems are built for long-term use, requiring minimal maintenance and offering reliable uptime. For high-output operations seeking quality recovery and sustainable processing, the GP-1HD and GPT-1HD deliver exceptional value.

Proudly manufactured in the United States, these reliable and durable glass recycling solutions are built to withstand even the most demanding applications and are designed to last for many years.

Andela GPT-1HD

The GPT-1HD pulveriser processes 3–5T/hr of MRF glass, maximising recovery with surge hopper, feed conveyor, and trommel separation of sand and aggregate.

Andela GP-1HD

Built tough for high-volume processing, the GP-1HD pulveriser handles up to 10T/hr of MRF glass, ideal for recycling centres needing robust, continuous performance.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, machines are either fully enclosed or have the required enclosures around mechanisms with safety interlocks to protect operators.

Bottles, jars, and glass containers of varying sizes.

It is reduced to glass cullet (glass chips) which can be recycled into new glass or construction material.

It is reduced to sand-like particles (~1-2mm) or gravel aggregate (~3-10mm) which can be used in drainage aggregate, road based civil works, fill for retaining walls or some landscaping applications.
