The article discusses the use of waste tempered glass from damaged or decommissioned thermal solar collectors to produce polymer concretes. The waste underwent mechanical recycling to obtain powders of alternative grain sizes: below 2.0 mm and below 0.5 mm. To produce the polymer concrete, ground glass waste served as the fine fraction, and sandstone gravel as the coarse fraction. An epoxy resin acted as the binder for the resulting composite. The research conducted has demonstrated that glass waste from solar collectors can be successfully utilised as a fine fraction in polymer concrete technologies. It was observed that there are no significant differences between the grains at 0.5 mm and 2.0 mm, and both fractions yield the desired results. The resulting polymer concretes are characterised by high mechanical strength, significantly surpassing the properties of typical cement concretes. The compressive strength is at 110.7 MPa, and the flexural strength is at 41.2 MPa. The proposed recycling method allows for the effective management of waste that is difficult to reuse on an industrial scale.

W artykule omówiono wykorzystanie odpadów ze szkła z uszkodzonych lub wycofanych z eksploatacji kolektorów słonecznych do produkcji betonu polimerowego. Odpady te poddano mechanicznemu recyklingowi, w celu uzyskania proszków o różnych frakcjach: poniżej 2,0 mm i poniżej 0,5 mm. Do produkcji betonu polimerowego użyto odpady szklane jako drobną frakcję, a żwir jako frakcję grubą. Żywica epoksydowa pełniła rolę spoiwa w powstałym kompozycie. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że odpady szklane z kolektorów słonecznych mogą być z powodzeniem wykorzystywane jako drobna frakcja kruszywa w technologii betonu polimerowego. Zaobserwowano, że nie ma znaczących różnic między ziarnami o wielkości 0,5 mm i 2,0 mm, a obie frakcje dają pożądane rezultaty. Powstałe betony polimerowe charakteryzują się wysoką wytrzymałością mechaniczną, znacznie przewyższającą właściwości typowych betonów cementowych. Wytrzymałość na ściskanie wynosi 110,7 MPa, a wytrzymałość na zginanie 41,2 MPa. Proponowana metoda recyklingu pozwala na efektywne zarządzanie odpadami, które są trudne do ponownego wykorzystania na skalę przemysłową.
