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.

"Super Sol," a lightweight foamed material made from recycled glass. Its features include being inorganic, porous, lightweight, water-retentive, drainage-capable, non-combustible, and resistant to chemicals, making it a very manageable material. By adjusting the types of bubbles during production, it can be tailored to meet specific performance and weight requirements for various applications. Additionally, it can be combined with various materials to create new products. [Examples of Applications] ◎ Lightweight Fill (Civil Engineering)… Lightweight fill material, backfill for retaining walls, subsurface drainage material, elevation material, etc. ◎ Greening… Inorganic soil amendment, oxygen pipes, rooftop greening materials, artificial lightweight soil. ◎ Agriculture… Inorganic soil amendment, subsurface drainage material, artificial lightweight soil, mulching material, solution cultivation. ◎ Purification… Rainwater retention systems, artificial wetland systems, water quality purification materials, aquarium filtration materials. ◎ Multipurpose… Crime prevention, weed control gravel, road repair materials, soil deodorization, stone wash. *For more details, please refer to the materials. We are also looking for new applications for this product. Please share your ideas through the inquiry form.

We would like to introduce examples of rainwater storage tanks and rainwater infiltration tanks utilizing Super Soil. In particular, in areas where urbanization has progressed, it has become difficult for rainwater to infiltrate underground, leading to urban flooding that flows into rivers in a short period of time. By utilizing the water retention capabilities of Super Soil, it is being used as a rainwater storage tank to temporarily hold rainwater, as well as a rainwater infiltration tank that slowly allows the stored rainwater to infiltrate over time. 【Example Overview】 ■ Application Category: Rainwater Storage, Rainwater Infiltration Tank, Rain Garden ■ Client: Private Sector ■ Construction Location: Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture ■ Porous ■ Water Retention and Drainage *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
