Glass is a solid material made by heating a mixture of silica (sand), soda, and lime until it melts and then cooling it rapidly to form a non-crystalline structure. While the raw materials for glass production, particularly silica, are abundant, the production of glass itself is energy-intensive and can involve environmental concerns. In terms of recycling, glass is finite in the sense that while it can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality, the overall demand for new glass can lead to resource depletion if not managed sustainably. Therefore, while the materials are not finite, the responsible production and consumption of glass are essential.
