Abstract

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.

Key words: Need, waste management, glass, industries.
