120 Glass is an indispensable material used in every household, construction, technical facilities, instrument-making, medicine, art, etc. Due to military operations and destruction, Ukraine is acutely experiencing a shortage of glass, most of which is used in the construction industry. The concentration of waste is in the territories where hostilities are taking place, and the lack of energy resources constantly limits the full opening of production enterprises. Therefore, an important scientific and practical task is the search for new raw materials for the revival of glass production. An indispensable raw material is cullet, which can also be used to create new materials (Table 1), which is the subject of scientific works with the author [1-3]. Table 1. Use of glass waste in the production of materials [compiled by the author] Options for using glass waste in the production of materials Technological features Environmental and economic advantagesі Glass container and tableware production An indispensable addition to glass melting. Properly processed crushed glass cullet reduces the temperature ranges for melting glass. The use of crushed glass firebrick significantly reduces the volume of harmful emissions into the air (CO2, NOx, SO2) Decorative materials and design of art objects Painted glass is used to make stained glass compositions, decorate sculptures, and fountains. The process will require careful sorting of fragments and glass cullet and the development of measures for systematization. Road construction Use in asphalt concrete mixtures Disposal of demolition waste Production of abrasive materials Obtaining loose abrasive material for delicate cleaning of metal, concrete and composite surfaces by crushing and grinding Provides an alternative to expensive abrasive materials Ceramic and glass- ceramic materials Glass cullet crushed into a dispersed powder is added as a flux in the production of ceramic products and bricks. Reduces firing temperature and energy consumption.
