Abstract

Glass has been used by humanity for thousands of years in a wide range of applications due to its chemical, thermal, mechanical, optical, and aesthetic properties. It has been the building block of many objects, both artistic and industrial, for centuries. Glass, whose discovery dates back to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamian civilizations, is formed by melting raw materials obtained from nature at high temperature and turning them into products. It goes through a rather difficult production stage. Today, glass is a very common material and has been one of the main materials recycled.
