The use of waste soda lime silicate glass as a raw material for glass ceramics is a subject that has been investigated for many years. This residue could be used in glass ceramics formulations as a silica source for partial or total substitution of one of the natural raw materials, commonly silica and brings the opportunity to improve sustainability. The majority of the studies in this field are related to the production of glass ceramics using different types of glasses, but this particular research is investigating the possibility of (TV screens) in order to enhance the crystallization mechanism and mechanical performance of the end product. The waste glass powder was characterized using Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), the use of which was chosen due to its availability over Wavelength Dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF), which would have been a better choice, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) analyses. The EDXRF analysis revealed a SiO2 content of 61.04%, alongside some other traces. Additionally, the x-ray diffraction indicated that no diffraction peak was observed in the glass powder sample, so there were no well-defined scattering planes and therefore no sharp peaks. The FTIR spectra of glass powder revealed several bands from 500 cm−1 to 4000 indicating Broad band stretching vibration of SiO4 and Si-O-Si asymmetric stretching However. The key findings are that waste glass (TV screens) can be used in the production of glass ceramics through sinter crystallization technique with technical and environmental advantages, having desirable properties required for glass ceramic tiles.
