What Recycling Means for the Environment

If you’ve ever dropped a glass, it’s easy to think of glass as a fragile material. Actually, glass is one of the longest-lasting man-made materials on earth given the fact that it takes around 1 million years for one glass bottle to decompose in nature!

To give you an example of the importance of using recyclable materials in your home, recycling one glass bottle will save enough energy to run a computer for 25 minutes. Additionally, materials produced from recycled glass reduces related air pollution by 20% and related water pollution by 50%. Recycling glass also saves 30% of the energy needed to produce glass from scratch. 

To transform from an empty bottle to beautiful tiles you're proud to display on your walls, glass goes through an amazing recycling loop until it is ready to become a recycled glass tile backsplash or floor. The process starts with the collection of these materials followed by careful selection and color sorting by the recycling production. The old glass is crushed and mixed with sand and other materials to form beautiful new glass. The result are beautiful sustainable building materials that will benefit generations to come!

Remodeling your home with sustainability in mind can significantly contribute to world's energy consumption. Many 'green' products and materials are also more durable and effective compared to non-sustainable products. Washington state’s CWC reports that “the strength and absorption properties of well-made recycled glass tiles is as good as, and often much better than, ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) requirements for similar types of material.”

Certain glass tiles can also be installed outdoors for pools or spas - always look for the Area of Use when deciding which tiles are right for your project.
