Recycled Glass

Material

About

Recycled glass is a versatile and eco-friendly material derived from post-consumer or pre-consumer waste. It is widely used in various applications, including countertops, tiles, and flooring. The process of recycling glass saves energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and conserves natural resources like sand, soda ash, and limestone. Recycled glass can be endlessly recycled without losing quality, making it a key component in sustainable practices. Recycled glass countertops, for instance, are made from glass shards encased in a binder, offering durability and a unique aesthetic. They are heat-resistant, easy to clean, and can be used in kitchens, bathrooms, and dining rooms. Additionally, recycled glass is used in fiberglass insulation, landscaping mulch, and water filtration systems. Its ability to be recycled repeatedly and its diverse applications make it a valuable material in modern sustainable design and construction.
