The glass facilities of FCC Ámbito have
been verified by AENOR (the first in Spain)
thereby certifying that the glass waste that
arrives at the Company’s installations has
been processed and recycled and is con-
sidered recycled glass rather than waste.
AENOR
verifies
FCC Ámbito’s
glass facilities
FCC Ámbito, at its glass recycling plants,
has been the first Spanish company to be
verified pursuant to Regulation 1179/2012
which defines when the cullet can no lon-
ger be considered waste. This Regulation
was drafted under Directive 2008/98/EC
of the European Parliament and Council.
This is a very interesting milestone in Glass
Recycling sector because the recovery
rate and efficiency of our glass recycling
processes are recognized, making our fa-
cilities essential by transforming the waste
to raw material.
Thanks to this verification, FCC Ámbito
shows its ongoing commitment to the sa-
fety of its workers and facilities, customer
satisfaction, and respect for the environ-
ment, enabling it to reach the highest le-
vels of quality for its activities.
This regulation outlines the criteria that
glass waste must comply with, the speci-
fications and regulations that make it usa-
ble in the production of glass substances
or objects by means of its recasting. The
criteria impose limits on the amounts of
pollutants, such as metals, organic com-
pounds, and stones in order to enable its
classification as a secondary raw material.
