Abstract Due to depletion of resources and the spread of environmental pollution, the sustainability of raw materials is emerging as an important issue. Glass bottles are one of the products that are easy to recycle, and many studies have been conducted to improve the recycling rate. In this study, we attempted to develop the waste glass bottles process that can be recycled into a glass cullet and recycled glass aggregate. To produce a cullet from waste glass bottles(WGBs), color quality standards must be satisfied. Therefore, we applied a multistage color sorter to the experiment. The recycled aggregate glass must adjust the particle size. Thus, we experimented with the optimum crusher selection test when applying the crushing process. And, we confirmed the appropriateness of process by aspect ratio analysis of product. In addition, we confirmed the trends in the data required to set the optimum design and operating conditions of the selected vertical shaft impact(VSI) crusher using discrete element method(DEM) simulations.

Worldwide, rapid population growth causes an increasing production of solid waste, and sustainable waste management solutions are required to deal with this. Waste glass is a significant component of the solid waste stream, and most of the recycled glass cullet is used for new glassware. However, waste containers with mixed types of glass, such as windows, ovenware, and crystal, which have higher melting points and are of different colors, cannot be used for new glassware. Hence, the contaminated load is sent to landfill. As landfill capacity is limited, it is critical to consider using this waste material for other applications. While the effects of the substitution of fine or coarse aggregates have been extensively researched, information on the effects of partial replacement of coarse aggregates and total replacement of fine aggregate with glass cullet is scarce. This paper reports on continuing research at La Trobe University on using recycled aggregates in the production of concrete. The effects of partial or total replacement of coarse crushed rock aggregates with recycled glass aggregates on the strength and durability of concrete were investigated. It was found that concrete mixes produced with recycled glass exhibited lower performance than the mixes produced with crushed rock aggregates. However, the production costs were lower and the appearance of concrete was improved, making it applicable for finishing products, noise barriers and light-trafficked footpaths.

The paper presents an experimental study on the production of non-fired ceramic tiles from rice husk ash (RHA) and green glass cullet (GGC) composites as a novel eco-friendly material. Eighteen mixture formulations were constructed as compared to control formula, specimens were uniaxially pressed at 10 MPa and then cured at room temperature for 7 and 28 days. Non-fired tiles (formula A4, B11, and C17) containing 20% GGC were mixed with 0%, 5%, and 10% RHA. The modulus of rupture can be increased by 87.23%, 48.8%, and 19.4%, respectively, at 28 days of curing as compared to control formula. These results were also coherent with microstructure characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, formula A4 and C17 were selected to compare energy costs with wall tiles fired at 950°C. They were the same amount of energy-saving costs by 5.19 USD/m2. From these results, the new eco-friendly products can produce with a combination of RHA and GGC wastes which can enhance the physical properties due to the pozzolanic reaction. Moreover, the proposed non-fired ceramic tiles can conserve energy and reduce manufacturing costs.
