“…Based on their results, the researchers concluded that the sweet spot for RCG is anywhere between five and ten percent, depending on the nature of the improvement to be made. Amiri et al [78] investigated the influence of RCG on the geotechnical characteristics of kaolinite at doses ranging from 10% to 50% and particle sizes from 2.36 mm to 1.18 mm. The study's results showed that up to a percentage of 50% replacement, RCG improved the friction angle, compressive strength, and MDD of kaolinite.…”

Glass is a substance that is present in most houses since glass-based items are made and consumed in relatively high quantities. This has led to the buildup of glass in concerning quantities all over the world, which is a problem for the environment. It is well known that glass has several advantageous physiochemical features that qualify it as an appropriate material for use in the construction industry as an aggregate. The features include being non-biodegradable, resistant to chemical assault, having low water absorption, having high hydraulic conductivity, having temperature-dependent ductility, having alterable particle gradation, and having a wide availability in a variety of forms and chemical compositions. Because of these qualities, glass has been used in various investigations and field tests conducted in civil engineering to evaluate its effectiveness as an engineering aggregate and to develop environmentally friendly management strategies for waste glass. These studies and research have utilized glass in various forms, such as fine recycled glass, medium recycled glass, coarse recycled glass, powdered glass, and glass-based geopolymers. This study focuses on research studies that present results on physicochemical, mechanical, and durability characteristics. These studies and research contain samples of pure glass or glass as replacement percentages in materials (0–100%), including but not limited to unbound granular materials (such as recycled concrete aggregates and crushed rock). In light of the information assembled in this review article, it is legitimate to claim that glass has strong promise as a material in various civil applications.

“…27 Theoretically, glass can be recycled repeatedly without any loss of its quality. 29 Furthermore, postconsumer glass typically comprises of a mixture of colored and transparent glass that is often contaminated with other wastes, making it unsuitable for reuse in glass manufacturing. 29 Furthermore, postconsumer glass typically comprises of a mixture of colored and transparent glass that is often contaminated with other wastes, making it unsuitable for reuse in glass manufacturing.…”

“…28 However, a major obstacle in the reuse of cullet for glass manufacturing is that it has to pass through several expensive and time-consuming stages, including separation, dirt removal, and cleaning, before it may be used as a feedstock for glass industry. 29 Furthermore, postconsumer glass typically comprises of a mixture of colored and transparent glass that is often contaminated with other wastes, making it unsuitable for reuse in glass manufacturing. 13 Hence, the obstacles involved in the reuse of cullet for glass manufacturing, coupled with its growing quantities and nonbiodegradable nature, brings the need to develop new applications for its recycling.…”

Each year, hundreds of thousands of tons of industrial wastes are being stockpiled, landfilled, and disposed of in storages occupying large areas of land that would otherwise be available for productive use. Recycling of such wastes is now becoming of urgent global interest due to an increasing population, the rise in anthropogenic activities, and the need for more efficient resource and waste management systems.Among many wastes, the generation of glass is dramatically increasing, particularly in the municipal, industrial, and construction sectors. In civil engineering, in general, crushed waste glass has been mainly investigated as a substitute for sand and finegrained aggregate in concrete production. In geotechnical engineering, in particular, the application of glass wastes is mainly limited to road pavements or as an additive to different soils for subgrade improvement. While glass wastes are relatively inert and potentially offer several opportunities for recycling as a substitute for diminishing and increasingly expensive sand supplies, their potential use yet remains relatively under-researched. This paper systematically reviews the current status of knowledge on the use of glass wastes in various civil engineering applications and discusses the suitability assessment of waste glass for use as a sustainable alternative to traditional civil engineering materials.

“…Some glasses, in fact, are ‘unrecyclable’ for several reasons, including the risks of degradation of their properties or the loss of chemical purity [ 5 ]. The main obstacle to reusing glass waste is that it should pass through various expensive and time-consuming steps [ 6 , 7 ]. Therefore, the obstacles involved in the upcycling of glass waste for glass manufacturing, coupled with its growing quantities and non-biodegradable nature, bring the need for the development of new applications [ 5 ].…”

Advanced Dye Sorbents from Combined Stereolithography 3D Printing and Alkali Activation of Pharmaceutical Glass Waste

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies enable the fabrication of objects with complex geometries in much simpler ways than conventional shaping methods. With the fabrication of recyclable filters for contaminated waters, the present work aims at exploiting such features as an opportunity to reuse glass from discarded pharmaceutical containers. Masked stereolithography-printed scaffolds were first heat-treated at relatively low temperatures (680 and 730 °C for 1 h) and then functionalized by alkali activation, with the formation of zeolite and sodium carbonate phases, which worked as additional adsorbing centers. As-sintered and activated scaffolds were characterized in terms of the efficiency of filtration and removal of methylene blue, used as a reference dye. The adsorption efficiency of activated printed glass was 81%. The 3D-printed adsorbent can be easily separated from the solution for reuse.
