Glass

A hard, brittle substance usually made from a mixture of silica (sand) and lime (calcium oxide) to form a non-crystalline solid.

Use Cases: Commonly used in food and beverage containers, windows, and various appliances.

Good to Know: Glass is prized for its clarity, heat-resistance, and chemical stability, making it safe for storing all types of food and drinks without risk of chemical leaching. It can be recycled extensively without significant loss in quality.
