Why Recycle

 

 

Wow, did you know that there are a multitude of products that can be created with recycled glass!!!

 

I found this great products: A new pavement process that actually filters out through the pavement, its called FILTERPAVE.

The FILTERPAVE™ system offers engineers, architects and owners a greener, more attractive hard-surfaced porous pavement, with aesthetics, design flexibility, environmental benefits and performance that surpass standards for pavements of its kind. More porous than alternatives, the pavement utilizes a high percentage (96%) recycled materials and 100% post-consumer recycled glass in its mix. The glass is specially-processed and bonded with a natural binder, making it as safe as any traditional surface on which to walk or drive.

 

Another of the uses that we actually plan on doing is pulverizing the glass to be used in Fiberglass Insulation, the company that creates this insulation has a 30%+ post consumer recycled content in their products. I think that is great, it saves landfill space and energy by using recycled content.

 

The list can go on and on, however we did find one more item we really liked and wanted to share: its called Tassoglass: this product is a woven glass paintable wallpaper that will last a minimum of 30 years.
