Areas of use for glass

Nowadays, glass is an inseparable part of our daily lives. Besides being used as glass balls and borosilicate glass, there are many areas where glass as a material can be used. For example, about 40% of all beverages are „packaged“ in glass.

Through decades of experience, knowhow and the continuous development of our production techniques in the manufacture of our small borosilicate glass balls, Schäfer Glas has earned a good reputation worldwide. Our customers appreciate our good service and the high quality of our products. The production of these small borosilicate glass balls starting from a size of 1 mm, requires partly, in this case, a process of several extensive production steps

At the glassworks, the secondary raw material is melted down and used, amongst other things, for the production of new glass packaging and containers. Afterwards, the Recycling symbol – which comprises 3 arrows – and which reflects the recycling program used. For the three we’ve already discussed, we have the following Recycling codes for different colours of glass– 70 GL for colourless, 71 GL for green and 72 GL for brown glass.
