EXCERPT FROM TOYOTA’S ”2019 NORTH AMERICAN ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT”

TOYOTA, USA, recognizes Shark Solutions unique laminated glass separation technologies

“During the past two years, eight of Toyota’s U.S. parts distribution centers have been using Shark Solutions to recycle 117,000 pounds of broken windshields that are damaged in our supply chain. Shark is the only recycler we’ve found to find a valuable use for the safety film, made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), in the windshield. Typically, the glass is separated from the film and the film is disposed. Now, both the film and the glass are recycled: The safety film is used in carpet backing and other products, while the glass is usually turned into insulation.”
