Broken glass, which melts easier than batch. Can be remains of previous work, bottles, or purchased. The latter two may need chemical additions to make more workable. Available from Gabbert Cullet.
Crushed pieces of used glass that can be melted to form new products.
Trade name for colour-graded glass fragments, off-cuts etc suitable for remelting, sourced mainly from glassworks and bottle banks.
Broken glass or glass waste recycled and used in a batch.
Scrap glass broken into small pieces.
Small pieces of broken glass added to the batch.
glass broken during the glass-making process and saved to be reused.
Glass that has been fragmented after consumer use and collection of containers. It is used as "feedstock" with virgin materials in the glass production process.
The broken pieces of glass that are melted and formed into new products.
Waste or broken glass. Clean cullet is always used in the batch.
recycled glass. (Can be quite difficult to re-use because of colour mix and impurities etc, has been used as aggregate in road construction)
(1) Raw glass or pieces of broken glass from a cooled melt; (2) scrap glass intended for recycling.
Broken glass, excess glass from a previous melt, or edges trimmed off when cutting glass to size. Cullet is an essential ingredient in the raw batch in glass-making because it facilitates melting.
Mixing slag, scrap or other extra glass materials into a pit to assist in the melting process. This also reduces the quality of the glass product itself.
Usually one quarter to one half of a batch of glass contains cullet or broken scraps of glass. This saves on heating because it melts faster and ingredients.
broken glass included in a mixture of raw materials ready for the melting pot. IGCB
Clean, color-sorted, crushed glass that is used in glass making to speed up the melting of silica sand. The use of cullet reduces energy costs of glass manufacturing.
Recycled glass used in the manufacture of clear float glass.
broken reusable pieces of glass that can be melted in the furnace.
Recycled broken glass that is used in the manufacture of new glass.
Waste or broken glass intended to be remelted. Cullet can be plant generated or recycled from the marketplace.
To assist in the glass melting process, several materials are mixed into the pit: slag, scrap or just extra glass materials. Note: this reduces the quality of the final glass product.
Pulverized pieces of scrap glass which are conveyed to the furnace to add to the molten glass
Cullet is broken pieces of glass that are recycled by melting and used to make new glass objects
Crushed glass that can be recycled into new glass products
Clean, color-sorted, crushed glass. Cullet is added to raw materials during glass-making since it can increase the rate of heat gain, thus reducing melting time and fuel costs.
Clean crushed glass waste. Declared Chemical Waste A substance that the EPA is satisfied is or is likely to be stored in accumulating deposits or dumped or abandoned or otherwise dealt with as chemical waste. The EPA can set controls for declared chemical wastes by Chemical Control Orders made under the Environmentally Hazardous Chemicals Act 1985. Dino Bins Bins with no lids used at large building sites. Bin sizes includes: 15.0 cubic metres (6.7 (l) x 2.3 (w) x 1.0 (h)); 23.0 cubic metres (6.7 (l) x 2.4 (w) x 1.6 (h)). Disposal The controlled release back into the environment of liquid, solid or gaseous wastes, and the residues of waste management processes.
Crushed glass which can be added to a batch of new materials in the manufacturing of new glass products. It increases the rate of heat gain by batch and reduces fuel costs. Domestic c-- if produced in house during the manufacturing process. Foreign c-- if it comes from an external source.
Recycled glass used in the manufacture of new glass. Glass has been crushed down to a size that ranges between one square inch to one half a square inch; e.g. between the size of a quarter and a dime.
The term used to describe crushed glass that is suitable for recycling by glass manufacturers.
broken scrap glass, usually in small, uniform, color-separated pieces
mixed color, broken or crushed glass.
clean, generally color-sorted, crushed glass used to make new glass products.
