Abstract

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a set of mass-produced glass containers, a raw material composition, and a set of resulting mass-produced glass containers, wherein the method comprises obtaining successive batches of raw material including, in a certain percentage of at least 80% by weight, a mixture of, for the most part, predominantly transparent pieces of recovered post-consumer glass and with a heterogeneous and variable chromatic composition in successive batches, melting the successive batches of raw material, and automatically manufacturing the set of predominantly transparent mass-produced containers with an identical shape, automatically detecting and rejecting the manufactured containers exhibiting dimensional and/or safety defects causing alterations in the shape and/or geometry of the container above predefined tolerances, ignoring the chromatic and/or aesthetic manufacturing defects, and filling all the containers from the set of non-rejected mass-produced containers with the same content and labeling with an identical label.
