The Difference between Glass and Plastic


They may both be transparent amorphous solids, but glass and plastic are very different materials.  Glass is made from ordinary sand, which is heated until it melts and becomes a liquid. 

Plastic is a synthetic or semi-artificial material made from petroleum oils and other organic materials. Glass is a highly sustainable material and it has a better recycling potential than plastic. Recycled glass is a more reusable material than recycled plastic.
