glass cullet

Glass was also recycled at this time in the form of cullet.

Cullet can be used over and over again to make new products.

The mould is now ready to be filled with glass cullet.

Two hours later the vessel she had blown was tossed back into the melt for cullet.

Glass separated by color yield glass cullet of higher economic value.

The mould is then filled with cullet and transferred to a kiln.

During the first 24 hours of the firing programme, more glass is added as the cullet melts down.

High-quality cullet is free of contaminants that would limit its usefulness in manufacturing.

Glass that is crushed and ready to be remelted is called cullet.

The cullet is crushed and added to a raw material mix in a melting furnace.

Glass cullet is also used in the construction industry for aggregate and glassphalt.

Cullet prolongs furnace life and saves energy since it melts at a lower temperature.

Glass container manufacturers need a steady supply of quality cullet to make glass containers.

At the first, a building a short distance outside the town contained a furnace used for reworking coloured cullet.

Ninety percent of recycled glass is used to make new containers, and the demand for quality cullet is greater than the supply.

Additional cullet may also have been collected from the ruins of abandoned Romano-British sites.

Of that, about 145,000 tonnes of non-refillable glass was recycled by crushing it to cullet.

Cullet is also moved about in a glass factory and tends to produce fine glass particles when shovelled or broken.

Most glass manufacturers rely on a steady supply of recycled crushed glass, known as cullet, to supplement raw materials.

The recycled glass saves on raw materials and energy; however, impurities in the cullet can lead to product and equipment failure.

One large specialist facility processes waste glass into glass cullet, suitable for making new glass bottles.

The collected glass cullet is taken to a glass recycling plant where it is monitored for purity and contaminants are removed.

The Julia Felix, also sunk during the 3rd century AD, was carrying as part of its cargo glass cullet presumably for recycling.

Lead glass cullet from the nearby Dartington Crystal is generally used for experimenting when the kiln is fired.

The "bulb edges" are recycled as cullet (flawed glass which is remelted) or were resold for shelving or displays.
