What does CULLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
Broken or waste glass that is collected and melted down again to make new glass products.
Recycling plants sort cullet by color before melting it, since mixing clear, green, and brown glass would produce an unpredictable tint in the finished product. Using cullet lets glassmakers save fuel, because it melts at a lower temperature than raw sand and other virgin materials, and it also reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill. Manufacturers typically blend a proportion of cullet with fresh raw materials rather than using cullet alone, to keep the quality and clarity of the final glass consistent.
