A World of Glass

Welcome to the world of glass

From jam jars to fibre optics and windows to lamp bulbs, glass is essential to modern life, yet we sometimes take this incredible material for granted.

Through this web site you'll be able to learn more about the world of glass, how it's made, how it's used and how difficult it would be to live without it.

You can also find out about the industry's trade confederation British Glass and our technical arm Glass Technology Services.
