What is glass made of? Windows, cups, mirrors, televisions and smartphones. Glass is an essential part of everyday life. It is now attracting attention as a material with a high recycling rate. It is made from silica sand contained in sand. Sodium carbonate and limestone are added to it, melted at high temperature, and cooled. Light bulbs, flasks, beakers and lenses. Glass is an important material that has supported civilization since ancient times. It is said that without glass, there would have been no progress in civilization.
