About the Glass Foam Material Business Cooperative From an era of mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal to an era where waste is utilized as a valuable resource. To effectively use limited Earth resources, environmental technology has been developed to transform waste glass into an excellent material. This is the glass foam lightweight material "Super Sol." Currently, Super Sol is manufactured at 17 locations nationwide. While each Super Sol manufacturing plant supplies high-quality and safe products, we are also building a network between locations to spread the excellent characteristics of Super Sol and promote its expansion. Therefore, we established the Glass Foam Material Business Cooperative. What is Super Sol? A lightweight civil engineering material with excellent workability. Super Sol L2 is a lightweight embankment material made from 100% waste glass. With a specific gravity of 0.35 to 0.5, it is 1/5 to 1/7 the weight of ordinary soil, making it widely used for reducing soil pressure on structures and as embankment material on soft ground.
