As we are AKA İç ve Dış Ticaret had the opportunity to see innovative products and meet companies in five different fields. The important aspect of this fair for us was definitely water.

Yes, the water for which wars are fought!

Systems developed for water saving are becoming more diverse day by day. The number of solutions for both individual users and industrial areas are increasing. Although the world consists of water, drinkable water of resources is decreasing. This situation forces us to find solutions to make sea and ocean water drinkable. But the cost of these systems are very expensive. Instead of it, we should focus on solutions such as how we can recycle existing resources and extend their useful life.

One of these solutions is quite interesting. Sand is normally used in pool filters. Nowadays, car and home windows are broken into three different sizes and glass is used instead of sand. There is a special reason why the product was chosen especially for car and home windows. In a time, bacteria begins to form on the glass of used drinks or on the glass of food. While our main goal is to make the water  more cleaner and shine, the bacteria in the waste bottles pollutes the water more. That’s why the glass used in the production of GlassBerk is obtained by processing surplus, faulty car and home windows. GlassBerk is a very environmentally friendly and economical product as there are no processes such as washing, sifting and drying during the production of glass media. We can say that it is one of the rare materials consuming zero water in the recycling industry. This environmentally friendly and innovative product is exported to more than 30 countries in the world by the end of 2023, with the slogan “It can be used wherever sand is used.” GlassBerk is also used in industrial facilities, Olympic pools and individual pools within the country.

GlassBerk lists the advantages of the product over sand as follows:

• While sand filters particles filters to 20 microns, GlassBerk can provide filtration up to 5 microns. Therefore, the water becomes cleaner and more shining.
• GlassBerk , whose backwashing time is much shorter than sand, saves electricity for users. At the same time, the advantages of the filtration system are less fatigue and longer service time.
• Although sand consists of bacteria and moss over time, GlassBerk does not.
• Calcification does not occur in GlassBerk.
