Glass Specifications

There are two very valuable specifications applicable to glass in manufacturing, sports, and water filtration applications.

BSI PAS 101: Recovered container glass - Specification for quality and guidance for good practice in collection.

 

  • The specification aims to assist glass collectors in achieving the highest grades of the PAS 101 specification by harmonizing the range of existing specifications for raw container glass collected in the UK and introducing a four tier grading system. PAS 101 Summary (136 kb) [pdf]

BSI PAS 102: Specification for processed glass for secondary end markets.

  • Crushed, processed, glass can be used as granular media for a number of applications, including: filtration applications such as in the treatment of potable water, municipal wastewater, and industrial wastewater, as a fluxing agent in brick manufacture, in blast abrasive applications where granular or powdered abrasive is fired at a substrate by high-pressure air or water, and in sports turf and related applications. PAS 102 Summary (733 kb) [pdf]

For a FREE copy of either PAS 101 or 102 please email Sue Baughan, Manufacturing Team Co-ordinator, on sue.baughan@wrap.org.uk indicating the reason you require the document.
