Abstract

This paper examines the possibility of using waste glass as a secondary raw material for achieving potential energy savings in the construction materials industry in Vojvodina. The results show that energy savings can be achieved by replacing the basic raw material (clay) with a certain quantity of waste glass. When combining different mass ratios, it was concluded that potentially the highest energy savings are achieved with a mass ratio of clay and glass of 50: 50%.
