Soda-Lime Glass is used to make glass bottles because it is considered to be inexpensive and used in making light bulbs, windowpanes, and art objects. It got its name because of its ingredients which consist of Sodium Dioxide (Soda) and Calcium Oxide (lime). Glass is made by adding Silica, sodium oxide, calcium oxide and various raw material.
