Shark Solutions is able to cost effectively separate the PVB layer in laminated glass and transform it into highly valuable
-Circularity Capital’s investment are supposed to further enhance the development of Shark Solutions’ existing manufacturing infrastructure in Europe and the United States, whilst also accelerating the adoption of the Shark Solutions’ PVB product range into adjacent end markets globally.
Used in paints, coatings, adhesives and flooring products
Traditional approaches to the recycling of end of life laminated glass (including windscreens and architectural glass) are unable to capture the highly valuable polymer interlayer (PVB) that improves performance under impact. Shark Solutions is able to cost effectively separate this PVB layer and transform it into highly valuable, non-toxic, sustainable, recyclable and price-competitive materials which are used in paints, coatings, adhesives and flooring products.
Shark Solution’s plants in Europe and the United States manufacture tens of thousands of tonnes of material per year for leading, global industrial companies, including for use in a number of Cradle-to-Cradle Certified products.
