The Application of Automotive Windshield Recycling Equipment

As global vehicle ownership rises, so does the volume of end-of-life automotive parts—especially windshields. Made of laminated glass, automotive windshields consist of two layers of glass bonded with a plastic interlayer, typically PVB (polyvinyl butyral). Recycling them is no simple task. That’s where automotive windshield recycling equipment comes into play.

This laminated glass recycling machine carefully separates the PVB film from the glass shards without excessive damage to either.

The recovered glass can be reprocessed into insulation materials, fiberglass, or even new automotive parts. The PVB layer, once cleaned and pelletized, can be reused in film production, coatings, or as a binder in construction materials. This closed-loop recycling not only reduces raw material dependency but also minimizes the environmental footprint of automotive manufacturing.

Automotive windshield recycling equipment is increasingly applied in vehicle dismantling yards, glass recycling facilities, and municipal recycling centers. With the rising global focus on circular economy practices and extended producer responsibility, demand for such equipment is growing—especially in Europe, North America, and emerging Asian markets.
