Precious metal recycling Waste Streams
Glass manufacturing
Maximizing recovery from high-temperature equipment, residues, and waste with specialized, efficient recycling solutions.
Capture value from high-temperature processes
Glass manufacturing often incorporates precious metals such as silver in equipment and processes. Over time, wear, contamination, and residues create valuable recovery opportunities.
At Sibanye-Stillwater Recycling operations, we help glass manufacturers recover precious metals from production equipment and waste streams—maximizing return and minimizing loss.
As production scales and material costs rise, refining recovery strategies is essential for maintaining efficiency and profitability.
We support glass producers with specialized recovery solutions tailored to high-temperature environments.
Identify hidden value across
your workflow
True recovery starts with knowing where precious metals are slipping through the cracks. These commonly overlooked areas in glass manufacturing often hold more value than expected.
Furnace and forming equipment
Key recovery sources:
- Thermocouples
- Worn bushings and stirrers
- Furnace residues
Production processes
Recoverable materials include:
- Coating Line Infrastructure equipment containing silver
- Sludges from water filtration systems
- Resin columns
Maintenance activities
Hidden value in:
- Replaced components
- Cleaning residues
- Scrap materials
Extreme conditions. Exceptional value.
Even in high-temperature environments, precious metals can be efficiently recovered.
