Glass Industries produce a lot of waste ranging from the by
products of the used raw materials to the damaged glass
products. The fuel used during glass production is also in
large quantity. Proper utilization of such wastes from glass
cullets (container, flat, electronics and other glass
containing products) can minimize the energy requirements
and reduce production cost. This paper evaluates the
economic potentials in cutting these expenses by recycling
wastes to produce glass or other useful objects, which may
also clean the environment and enhance efficient production.
