What are glass bottles recycled into?

Glass containers are being recycled domestically, mainly into wine bottles. Glass shards from broken bottles are mixed with asphalt for road base. Recycling glass saves energy. Making glass from raw material such as soda and pot ash requires the material to be heated to 1800 degrees and then held for 45 minutes. When remanufacturing glass, the glass pellets need only be heated to 1400 degrees.
