Glass
What is it?
Glass is an amorphous solid (neither liquid nor solid) made from sand. It is very durable and can be infinitely recycled.
Durability and recyclability are the two areas where glass really shines. A glass container will last practically forever if you don’t break it, and it can be washed and reused as many times as you like.
Applications:
Glass is commonly used to make windows, bottles, glasses, containers and marbles. We use it as a container for A Good Dental Floss.

Recycling & circularity

Glass recycle bin or plant
The Glass Factory
Glass is made by heating sand, normally when mixed with soda ash and limestone, in a furnace. Once it has been melted at the required temperature, it is then moulded into the required shape.
Our Glass Range
We use glass as the container for A Good Dental Floss, our plastic-free alternative to regular floss made from cornstarch and candelilla wax.
