Countertop manufacturer Vetrazzo uses recycled glass from tossed-out bottles, windshields, traffic lights and other sources, to transform into one-of-a-kind home decor products.
The recycled glass can be used for residential and commercial purposes including countertops, tables, and fireplace mantles. With a total of 85% recycled glass in each of their products, not only do Vetrazzo's products help the environment by reducing landfill waste, each is unique and “tells a story." Each product also comes with a Certificate of Transformation that tells you where the glass came from.
