Vetrazzo Recycled Glass
Vetrazzo countertops have mixed colors of recyled glass chips embedded in a masonry binder for a terrazzo-like look. Vetrazzo is available in a wide variety of colors and in thicknesses from 1”-1-1/2”. The manufacturer has certified each product contains 80-90% post-consumer waste and is proud to say they recycled over 100 tons of glass last year.
All of the glass used in Vetrazzo is recycled, and it makes up about 85% of the total material. Most of the glass comes from curbside recycling programs. Other glass comes from windows, dinnerware, stemware, windshields, stained glass, laboratory glass, reclaimed glass from building demolition, traffic lights and other unusual sources. Every Vetrazzo surface has its own history. The company tracks that history, and after you purchase and register Vetrazzo, we provide a Certificate of Transformation that tells you where the glass in your Vetrazzo came from.
Vetrazzo surfaces give you an alternative to using non-renewable resources (like virgin granite, for example), and provides a new market for recycled glass, including glass that cannot be recycled elsewhere. This product is made in the US and is returnable to the company for remanufacture into another Vetrazzo countertop upon removal.
