THE USE OF CULLET IN THE PRODUCTION OF GLASS PRODUCTS:

 

• Reduces energy needed to melt glass by 25-30% over virgin raw materials
  

• Reduces the manufacturers’ CO2 emissions by 0.23 ton for each ton of cullet used

 

• Eliminates SOx and NOx emissions in direct proportion to reduction in virgin raw materials
  

 

• Conserves virgin raw material – saving approximately 1.2 ton of virgin material for each ton of cullet used

 

• Reduces solid waste material in landfills
