How glass bottles are made

Glass is made from sand, limestone, and soda ash. First, these three materials are mixed together in the right proportions. Sometimes broken glass is added. Second, this mixture was heated strongly in a furnace. After that, glass is produced. Then, It is shaped into bottles in the mould. Also, the bottles are reheated to strengthen the glass. Finally, they are ready to be used.
