Foam glass is one of the materials for which it is possible to use glass waste of lower quality, which cannot be used for the production of classic glass products. Foam glass aggregate is a very interesting raw material, which, although it does not reach the quality of conventional foamed glass, but has a number of very interesting properties, thanks to which it can be used for the production of composites with a very good ratio of thermal insulation, acoustic and mechanical properties. The paper describes the res...

At present, the consumption of thermal and acoustic insulating materials is increasing worldwide, therefore it is very important to look for possible ways how to produce these materials from secondary raw materials and thus save the primary material base. In the textile and automotive industry, a number of wastes are produced which contain very high purity PES fibers, often comparable with primary PES fibers. In general, most types of PES fibers used in industry have a very low thickness (between 10 and 20 microns...
