Research on Creating Decorative Objects from Glass Waste Through Thermoforming

Résumé

The paper presents a research study on the production of decorative glass objects using the thermoforming process. For this purpose, glass waste was used, aiming at the recovery and reuse of various glass scraps for the production of ornamental objects. The thermoforming process was applied to various combinations of white and coloured glass with inserts from different materials to achieve the most pleasant visual impact, producing different shapes and geometries.
