Remelting recycled glass leads to savings on fuel and raw material costs, something the glass industry has known for some time. However, using cullet can also bring down CO2 emissions, as proved by a study carried out in the UK by Glass Technology Services, a group of leading container manufacturers and The Carbon Trust. The study has also produced a model to help glass makers optimise furnace efficiency at any combination of production level and cullet ratio.
