150.000 t of Glass Fiber waste are sent to landfill

every year in Europe, causing a serious environmental

problem

GW Compounding was the first company to provide

an alternative to the final disposal of the GF

The project was awarded by the EC Life + Program as

"Best environmental project 2009”

Green World Compounding developed an R & D project to provide a technological solution to fiberglass recycling



Type of waste recycled.
