In this installment, we bring you a company and a product that is currently featured on ENN Expo: EnviroSLAB from EnviroGLAS.
EnviroGLAS makes a number of products using recycled glass that would otherwise make its way into a landfill. The company produces landscaping sand, flooring, countertops, and tabletops, all using reclaimed mirror glass, plate glass, cobalt glass, and other types of waste glass as a primary material.
The reclaimed glass is mixed with an epoxy resin to create countertops and flooring with such well-known styles as Terrazzo, a popular choice because of its throwback to Venetian styling. In the fifteenth century, artisans in Venice used marble remnants mixed with mortar to create mosaic flooring for terraces and plazas. They were in essence early recyclers, and the fact that they used recycled materials did not detract from, and in fact enhanced, some of the most beautiful architecture ever created.

EnviroSLAB countertops start at about $40 per square foot, making the price comparable to other high-end countertop materials. In this case though, you'll be contributing to the environment as well as the style of your kitchen.
You can learn more about EnviroGLAS at the company's website, www.enviroglasproducts.com
