| This paper deals with the question of how old insulating glass units can be re manufactured to match the state of the art in terms of the energy efficiency.
| The thesis examined the barriers to recovering end of life glass from commercial projects in London, and identified the drivers that will open pathways for glass to be recycled.
| Increasing the circularity of flat glass does not only mean to collect glass cullet from internal and pre- consumer processes. It also means to use glass cullet from the post- consumer applications, such as residential or commercial buildings.
| This research examines the viability of recycling soda lime glass from post-consumer Insulated Glass Units (IGU), mixing various types of architectural glass cullet and fusing them into flat plates by using electric kilns.
| In order to minimize the environmental impact of glass by preserving the embodied carbon and substituting newly produced glasses, the reuse of glass is considered to be of the highest potential.
| This research focuses on the incorporation of glass bottles into earth-based constructions, because of their mutual advantages of environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
| This article presents the metric avoided carbon for the reuse of aluminium unitised curtain wall façades, that are to be taken from a donor building and applied onto a receiving building.
| The Feasibility of Recycled Glass as a Building Material With Additive Manufacturing
| A study of its environmental benefits, quality, and mechanical properties
| Flat glass manufacturers are rightly focused on reducing their operational carbon and in turn the embodied carbon of the glass materials that they create.
| First valid steps on the pathway to better re-utilization of glass elements
| This study explored the prospect of reusing post-consumer architectural flat glass panes for remanufacturing in insulating glass units.
| This study identifies the existing supply-chain inefficiencies in the UK glass industry in three stages.
| Laminated glass recycling is becoming increasingly important and urgent due to limited raw materials.
| The paper deals with the recycling of laminated glass, especially with the effective separation of glass (in the form of cullet) from the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer film.
| End-of-life insulating glass units (IGUs) continue to follow a linear, wasteful path from renovation and demolition sites into landfills or low-value recycling.
| An Interlayer Material Study Towards Circular, Dry-Assembly, Interlocking Cast Glass Block Structures
| This paper explores the flexural strength of recycled cast glass—a property relevant to the engineering practice.
| This study forms part of a wider research programme that aims to better address the end-of-life challenges and opportunities in façade design for re-use.
