Cullet Use In The Production Of Building Materials

Questions concerning the formation of cullet in the form of solid household wastes and at enterprises which reprocess sheet glass are examined. It is shown that cullet is promising for use in manufacturing materials used in different applications. Decorative facing materials, pressed tiles, and smalt can be made with a wide range of colours, different configurations and dimensions. Heat-and sound-insulating materials based on granular, tile and block foam glass and slag foam glass are of practical interest.
