Our Story

Welcome to HB Glass, a pioneering company founded in 2020 with a vision to reshape glass recycling and filtration solutions. Our journey began when the local waste management leader, The Waste Trade Company, identified a significant gap in glass recycling within the automotive industry. Through extensive research and development, we discovered a growing demand for glass filter media in a variety of industries, including water treatment and aquatics.

With a clear vision and a deep commitment to innovation, HB Glass invested heavily in
advanced manufacturing technologies, resulting in the establishment of our state-of-the-art facility in Gqeberha, South Africa (formerly Port Elizabeth). This cutting-edge plant is the
cornerstone of our operations, where we produce high-quality glass filter media that meets the highest global standards.

Since its inception, HB Glass has successfully supplied bulk quantities of premium glass filter media, gaining recognition for our export-quality products. Our ISO 9001 certification
underscores our commitment to continuous improvement and quality excellence, ensuring that we meet the ever-evolving needs of the industries we serve.

We are driven by a relentless pursuit of quality and performance, and our products are rigorously tested at SANAS Accredited laboratories to ensure they meet the highest standards of precision and reliability. At HB Glass, we don't just produce filter media—we create innovative solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future.

As we look ahead, we remain focused on exceeding the expectations of our clients and expanding our impact on the global market.
