heal.abstract	The current study focuses on potential utilization of glass cullet and emery in the field of ceramic industry. Both aforementioned materials may substitute the clay raw material of the brick industry, thus reducing the CO2 emissions coming from carbonates decomposition. The experimental part of the current study included the production of bricks using 15 and 20 % w/w emery and 5% and 15% glass cullet substituting clay raw material. The final products were examined for their chemical composition, their mineralogical composition, their thermal behaviour, their morphology and they were subjected to specific quality tests: water absorption capacity, shrinkage percentage and compressive strength. Satisfactory results were obtained for the use of 15% glass cullet and 20% emery, especially with respect to water absorption capacity and compressive strength. Good results were also obtained with respect to the substitution of carbonates in the raw materials, with subsequent reduction of CO2 emissions.	en
