Technology for laminated glass recycling
There are approximately one billion vehicles in the world, and all they all have laminated windshields. Shark Solutions sells mobile/stationary complete systems to process
laminated glass. One –pass process. Capacity 9+ ton/hour.
Shark Solutions business model; 1. Sell Shark Glass Recycling Systems which can separate glass from PVB waste
(Shark Glass Separator) 2. Run our own industry where we clean PVB from above type PVB waste into ready-
to-use raw materials for industrial applications (Shark PVB Recycling) Replaced windshields
(stone chipped)
Windshields from scrapped cars
Laminated building glass
PVB waste
Recycled glass cullets E.g. for glass wool - insulating material
Recycled PVB
Ready for travel Ready for operation

Shark Glass Separator – mobile system
"One pass, one operator" produces Glass Cullet ready for
shipment. Cullet produced id 1/8" or
less: =0.5 mm/32%; =0.5 mm/25%;
=1.0 mm/22%; =1.8 mm/9%;
=2.24 mm/6%; =2.25 mm/6%
Removes contaminates from glass:
Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB)
Ceramics
Tint Films
Metals
Rubber, Silicones
Other Compounds (Organics)
Process 9 Mton to 12 Mton of
windshields per hour
Designed to work in a fixed or
mobile application
Removes >90% Glass from the
windshield
Patented protected technology

Windshield basic data: One windshield weighs
(on average) 32 lbs./15 kg.
Other Pertinent Data:
At 9 ton/hour - 7 hour day - 5 days week
4 weeks month - 50 weeks year
1 hour 600 windshields (9 ton)
1 day 4200 windshields (63 ton)
1 week 21000 windshields (315 ton)
1 month 84000 windshields (1260 ton)
1 year 1.050.000 windshields (15950 ton)
There are about 250,000,000 registered
vehicles in North America.
Each year, about 7% of the registered vehicles
are salvaged 17,500,000 windshields
AND
each year about 7% of the registered vehicles
have a windshields replaced: 17,500,000
Windshields
AND
Architectual/building glass is an equal huge
source of lamianted glass to be recycled!

Danish Shark Solutions A/S win prestigious innovation prize The Danish company Shark Solutions - who have developed a method to extract PVB laminate from automobile windshields - have won a most sort after prize in Paris, for the
most visionary company in the environmental category. The company was competing against 47 other companies from 11 countries. The prize has been set up by one of the
largest companies in the world, Saint Gobain, and can be a real door opener for a new, global, industrial fairy tale.
The managing director of Danish SHARK Solutions, Jens Holmegaard, is very excited after his company won the innovation prize (environmental category), at the European
Research and Innovation Exhibition held in Paris. The prize is instituted by the French company Saint-Gobain, one of the world's leading companies within the field of glass,
solar panels and building materials.
“The prize committee, Saint-Gobain's Executive Group Management, substantiated the vote for SHARK Solutions with the fact, that we ensure that material once bound for the
rubbish dump, is now refined and reused in industry. Thereby, ensuring good economic and environmental sense in the process,” explains Jens Holmegaard.
SHARK Solutions have developed a technology, where they take scrapped automobile windshields, and separate the laminate from the glass. Following extraction, the laminate
is cleaned to such a fine quality, almost as good as new, that it can be reused. This laminate is an extremely strong glue or binder known as PVB (PolyVinyl Butyral). SHARK
Solutions master this technology as the only ones in the world in industrial volumes.
This recycled PVB can now be reused in new windshields, in protective film on solar panels, in the plastic industry (adding PVB to certain plastics make them more pliable) or as
a binder in paint and primers.
The prize is 15.000 Euro and there is a cup, but more importantly there is exposure to new business opportunities.
“As a part of the prize we also get an introduction to a number of Saint-Gobain's divisions, and that is a considerable door opener to a very large part of the world market for us
we become known in the right places, and can knock on the right doors”, stresses Jens Holmegaard.
That he has grounds to be optimistic is underlined by the fact that, globally, Saint-Gobain are represented in 59 countries, have a turnover of 44
billion Euros and 209.000 employees. In Denmark the company own, among others, Isover, Gyproc, Scanglas and Brødrene Dahl.
At Vækstfonden (Danish Venture Capital Fund), who have invested 10 million Danish Crowns in SHARK Solutions, they are also delighted.
“We have known the whole time, that SHARK Solutions has potential, both economically, and for the environment. Now that Saint Gobain have
validated the company things look much better than they did yesterday” says Bjarne Henning Jensen, who is responsible for clean-tech investments
at Vækstfonden.
