Abstract: The paper deals with the possibilities of use of glass recyclate from photovoltaic panels for concrete masonry units. It compares different recipes and its physical and mechanical properties with the focus on the compressive strength, density. It then compares the values of these recipes with the values of commonly used composite materials for masonry units without recyclates. Recycling of materials from photovoltaic panels is a highly discussed topic nowadays. The paper presents possibility for secondary use of glass from these panels in building industry, namely the substitution of aggregate in concrete with glass recyclate.

Key words: concrete, glass recyclate, photovoltaic panels, recycled building materials, recycling
