Nothing gets wasted in Africa and these beads made from recycled bottle glass are the perfect example. The Krobo of Ghana have invented a technique for making those beads. For the whole process you will require glass powder that are crushed properly and turned into fine particles. Then the glass powder will move for the heat treatment process so that the materials can fuse together easily. Then the fused glass will poured into a clay mold. With the mold they are using the cassava leaf stem for making hole into the molded material. Once the molded material comes out, then it will move for oven where the glass will fuse properly with the application of heat and at the mean time the cassava leaf stem will burn up leaving the hole behind. cit. from: www.thebeadchest.com
