Glass Foam Business Cooperative List of Products and Services

"Super Sol" is a lightweight material recycled from glass bottles and other sources. It is an amorphous gravel-like artificial pumice made by crushing and sintering waste glass into particles ranging from 2 to 75 mm in size. Composed of soil components, it is environmentally friendly and allows for control of specific gravity and water absorption rate according to its intended use. Utilizing its features such as lightweight, permeability, water retention, non-combustibility, and thermal insulation, it is widely used in various applications including civil engineering, greening, agriculture, water purification, and insulation. 【We are currently offering a catalog of products by application as a gift!】 ■ Lightweight fill material "Super Sol L2" ■ Greening material "Super Sol L1" ■ Agricultural material "Super Sol L1" ■ Purification material "Super Sol L2・L4" ★ We will be exhibiting at the "2023 Global Warming Prevention Exhibition/NEW Environmental Exhibition"!

The method of using Super Sol as a lightweight material by mixing it with excavated soil, inexpensive purchased soil, crushed stone, etc., is called "mixed lightweight soil." 【Features / Benefits】 - Lightweight (suppresses settlement, reduces earth pressure, etc.) - The soil properties of the mixed soil (density, strength, permeability, etc.) can be adjusted according to the mixing ratio. - Easy to construct (can be implemented using conventional earthwork procedures and construction machinery) - Consideration for the global environment - Cost reduction in materials. Reduction in the amount of lightweight material used by utilizing excavated soil and inexpensive crushed stone. - Reduction in disposal costs for surplus soil through effective use of locally generated excavated soil. - In 2019, a JIS standard was established for "glass foam recycled materials." (JIS Z 7313) - NETIS (New Technology Information System) Lightweight embankment material "Super Sol" Registration number QS-980235 Registration period 1999.02.09 to 2011.3.31 Listing ended due to expiration of the period. * The Glass Foam Material Business Cooperative obtained the Qualified Union Certification for Public Procurement on April 16, 2020. This has established a responsibility system and quality control for "Super Sol," enhancing its public nature. ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.

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.

■ The porous super soil is ideal for microbial habitats. ■ Organic matter is decomposed and accumulated through the action of microorganisms. ■ It is used as a filtration material for aquariums. ■ The effects are long-lasting, and it maintains water quality, reducing the effort required for water changes by half. ■ There is no degradation of the material, and it does not break. ■ It can be used as a filling material for rainwater retention systems. Since the stored rainwater can maintain its quality without circulation, it can be installed at a low cost, and running costs can be minimized. ■ It can be used as a lightweight floating material for dairy wastewater. It can purify high-concentration organic wastewater mixed with manure and milk to a level suitable for river discharge. 〇 For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

We would like to introduce a case study of the construction of an artificial wetland using the lightweight material "Super Sol," which is made from crushed and sintered waste glass. This system, developed through a collaboration between industry, academia, and government by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, purifies high-concentration organic wastewater mixed with manure and milk from dairy farms to a level suitable for river discharge. Super Sol is used as a lightweight floating material on the surface of the wetland. It prevents clogging and provides insulation, allowing for wastewater treatment to begin immediately after installation. 【Construction Case Study】 - Project Details: Purification of dairy wastewater using a subsurface flow reed bed artificial wetland - Application Category: Dairy farming / Lightweight floating material / Parlor wastewater purification - Client: Private sector - Construction Location: Bekkai Town, Hokkaido - Required Performance: Porous, lightweight, and insulating For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
