Abstract
Glass recycling in Mexico accounts for only 12%, making it one of the materials with the lowest percentage in this area. The different applications where recycled glass can be used range from the construction industry, concrete production replacing fine aggregate or cementitious material, ceramic materials, architecture (mortar), glass blocks, road paving and dentistry. Among the sources of discarded glass to be recycled are primarily beverage bottles and window glass; however, there are a wider variety of glass items to be investigated for use as recycled material, as well as their use in these and other applications. From the review carried out in the research work presented here, a different panorama was obtained with respect to other sources of waste glass that can be recycled, without losing sight of the fact that this will contribute to reducing the environmental impact, in a first stage of the area surrounding the Educational Institution in which the work is carried out.
