Which code does this activity belong in?
Glass container manufacturing comprises establishments that melt silica sand or cullet to produce glass packaging containers such as bottles and jars. This activity differs from flat glass manufacturing, which produces sheet glass for windows and other applications. Glass container production also differs from other pressed and blown glass manufacturing, which makes decorative or functional glassware rather than containers intended for packaging. Establishments that shape or coat purchased glass rather than melting raw materials are classified in glass product manufacturing made of purchased glass.
