GLASS-BASED SUBSTRATES INCLUDING RECYCLED CONTENT, AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18389311 titled 'GLASS-BASED SUBSTRATES INCLUDING RECYCLED CONTENT, AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes glass-based substrates with recycled content of highly crystalized cullet. The method involves melting a set of raw materials, including glass-ceramic cullet with a high percentage of crystal phase, to form a re-melted precursor material that can be used to create glass-based products.
- Glass-based substrates with recycled content of highly crystalized cullet

Original Abstract Submitted
Glass-based substrates including recycled content of highly crystalized cullet are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing a recycled glass-based material composition, the method comprising: melting a set of raw materials, the set of raw materials comprising glass-ceramic cullet. The glass-ceramic cullet comprising: a cullet composition comprising SiO, AlO, and LiO; greater than or equal to 70% by total weight cullet crystal phase. The melting is performed in a melting vessel held at a temperature, and for a time, sufficient to melt the glass-ceramic cullet to form a re-melted precursor material. The melted precursor material may be used to form a glass-based product which may be transparent or opaque.
