Waste Management -- Undercover Boss
Episode 1 in the First Season of "Undercover Boss," "Waste Management," relates to Larry O'Donnell, the director of Waste Management, as he goes undercover as an entry level recycling plant operator. This makes possible for him to gain a better understanding of the company's activities and thus prepares him to devise a plan that would restructure parts of the business.

The three types of glass ceramics were then analyzed for structural integrity and thus, viability for use in industry. Methods of analysis include optic and SEM, which help determine qualities like glassiness. Results showed that larger amounts of CaO in the vitrification process changed the termperature at which crystallization takes place. By increasing the CaO amount in the glass ceramics, a higher cooling temperature during the crystallization process is needed.
