Abstract

Waste glass is primarily disposed into landfills and the remaining waste is either recycled or reused for different
purposes. Recycling is significant as it plays a vital role in reduction of both the wastes and its harmful environmental
impacts. In this particular study, waste glass is recycled into glass foams. The glass foam is produced at a temperature of 860
degree
oC in 600sec. In order to check the morphology and mechanical strength, the prepared glass foam samples were
tested structurally and mechanically. High strength values between 17.86 ± 2.41 and 28.98 ± 2.16 MPa were recorded for
the produced glass foams. The glass foam prepared in this study can be used in advanced material and structural systems.
