In all aspects of human life, production, culture, and science and technology, glass materials have played and continue to play an important role. Due to the excellent properties of glass materials, it is a commonly used packaging material in the food industry, chemical industry, medical and health industries.
The rapid development of the glass packaging industry is largely determined by competition with plastic bottles. The price of raw materials required to produce plastic fluctuates with the price of oil, while glass raw materials are abundant and stable in price. Since glass production requires a lot of energy, glass is also affected by fuel prices. Nevertheless, because glass containers have unparalleled advantages of other packaging materials, it is still an important packaging material for today and in the future.
