Best Answer

Yes, some types of glass can be made using plant material. The main component of glass is always silica sand, but there are several other "ingredients" in glass, one of which can be soda ash.

Soda-based glass contains the material called soda ash, the active ingredient of which is sodium carbonate. Soda ash can be produced as a result of burning a plant called glasswort, or what we more commonly know as samphire, and soda ash can also be produced by burning kelp, which is a kind of seaweed.

See the Sources and related links section, below, for more information on the process.
