Following a tree-planting event, various sections of the facility were toured. Participants reviewed the process lines and furnace operations of the TROTO Flat Glass Furnace, which had been ignited on 21 September and gradually heated to approximately 1,500°C by 16 October. The first glass production process was also carried out live during the event.
