Glass Foam Business Cooperative List of Products and Services

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.

• Soil improvement material

"Super Soil" is a lightweight sandbag weighing about 6 kg, which is less than 1/4 the weight of conventional sandbags (approximately 25 kg). When an earthquake causes unevenness on the road, vehicles cannot pass. However, this product can quickly correct the unevenness to secure emergency transport routes and enable rapid "road clearance" for emergency vehicles. *Road clearance refers to the urgent removal of minimal debris to allow emergency vehicles to pass, even if only one lane is available, and to create a passable relief route through simple unevenness correction after an earthquake or similar event. [Features] - Lightweight, allowing multiple sandbags to be transported at once. - Improved workability. - Weighs less than 1/4 compared to conventional products. - For road surface unevenness. - Made from recycled lightweight foamed glass material from glass bottles. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

• Reinforced earth wall

"Super Sol L2" is a lightweight material made from recycled waste glass. As a lightweight fill material, it is useful for reducing soil pressure and preventing settlement in applications such as roadbed and embankment backfill, as well as behind retaining walls. The unit weight is 4 kN/m³, achieving a weight that is 1/5 to 1/7 that of ordinary soil, and it can be used like ordinary soil without the need for curing. It is also easy to work with in distorted terrains and narrow spaces. It is chemically stable and does not corrode. 【Features】 - Contains countless holes and has an irregular gravel shape with particle sizes ranging from 2 to 75 mm. - Easy installation through leveling and compaction. - Patented and trademarked. Eco Mark certified. - Registered with NETIS. Registration period ended in March 2011 (QS-980235, CB-040086). ★ "Super Sol" has been established as "Glass Foam Recycling Material" in JIS (JIS Z 7313). * The first 20 companies will receive product samples! A case study collection featuring examples of this product's application is also available. Catalogs and case study collections can be viewed immediately from the [Download] section.

• Reinforced earth wall
• Aggregates and crushed stone
• Road construction

"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"!
