cullet
Recycled glass fragments
Cullet is broken or waste glass collected for recycling and remelting.
Glassmakers add cullet to their furnaces because it melts at lower temperatures than raw materials, saving energy: The factory sources cullet from local recycling programs.
The term is standard in glass manufacturing and recycling industries.
