•Glass ceramic foams have been prepared based on polishing porcelain waste and carbon ash.•Increasing the amount of carbon tends to cause coalescence.•Lowering sintering temperature or reducing holding time avoids cell coalescence. This study reports on the feasibility of producing glass ceramic foa...
