This video provides an overview of glass bottle manufacturing. It takes the viewer from the start of the process - the raw materials (sand, soda ash, and limestone) or recycled glass (cullet) - to the finished product (new glass bottles). In manufacturing new products, this facility uses between 30% and 55% recycled content glass, depending on the market. The glass manufacturing/recycling process is very intricate, and this video thoroughly highlights this very detailed process. Produced: 1993
