Mountains of glass in Israeli desert
Phoenicia Glass Works Ltd., Israel’s only glass container factory, runs 24/7 and produces a million bottles and containers every day.
The factory, located in the Negev desert, produces some 300,000 defective bottles a day. The defects are ground up and gathered into piles to be melted into new bottles. The rolling hills of glass shards span a few soccer fields and reach up to 50 feet high.
The factory runs nonstop – the ovens must always run to prevent the molten glass from hardening and clogging the equipment.
