Phenicia - for the community

As a green production plant that was converted to use of natural gas, Phoenicia is the only Israeli production plant which uses glass cullet as raw material thus contributing to the improvement of ecology in Israel. Our production plant is legally licensed and carries all required permits, including emission permits.

Did you know?

The name Phoenicia originates from the Phoenicians, who were marine nomad tribes who lived along the north eastern coast of the Mediterranean (Tyre, Sidon) who were among the first who produced and used glassware

The main raw materials for the production of glass are: Silica sand, Ash soda, and chalk

Production of glass requires melting of the raw materials in a special furnace at the temperature of 1600°C

Once the furnace is lit, heated and reaches the required temperature for melting the raw materials, it works continuously day and night for nearly ten years
