Ekko Waste Solutions is a multi-award winning innovative glass recycling expert which has developed bespoke equipment, vehicles and systems which make closed loop glass recycling a reality. The Scottish Government had a vision for a zero waste society and set out a Zero Waste Plan to make sure Scotland benefited from the economic and environmental advantages to be gained. The Waste (Scotland) Regulations came into force on the 1st of January 2014 and commercial premises had to present their waste as separate waste streams. The policy resulted in outlets having to present their waste in 4 waste streams – general waste, dry mixed recyclate, food & glass.
Ekko Waste Solutions has developed its unique 8th generation mobile glass crusher which reduces the volume of the glass waste by up to 80% and produces “supercullet” which is certified to be 94.8% recyclable. The glass crushing unit is designed to be located and used anywhere that produced post-consumer glass waste including bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels, shopping centres, airports and railway stations. 
Ekko has also invested in designing, developing and producing efficient custom built trucks with small bodies and high payloads to collect glass in high density built up areas where congestion, pollution and access is often an issue. With the equipment and infrastructure developed and ready to go Ekko Waste Solutions grew rapidly, offering equipment and services that were unique. Ekko soon discovered that their advanced systems and vehicles also worked extremely well for traditional glass collections and Ekko started collecting glass waste for National and Regional waste companies that did not have a developed glass waste infrastructure.
A sophisticated glass processing plant was built in Scotland and opened in 2015. Capable of processing 140,000 tonnes of glass each year this plant was built to feed the large Whisky industry that Scotland is famed for. With advanced optical sorting using laser technology this plant can sort mixed glass as small as 4mm into its individual colours ready for recycling. This made closed loop glass remelt for recycling a reality in Scotland.
Ekko has the case studies, the recognition, the expertise, the experience, the knowledge and the ability to replicate this system in its entirety in other markets across the world. The benefits are many.
