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.

Vetrazzo offers a sustainable alternative to granite and other quarried stone. It can be used for kitchen and bath countertops, fireplace mantles, table and desktops, bars and other surfaces. As many as 1,000 recycled bottles are used to make one 5 ft. by 9 ft. panel of Vetrazzo glass countertop. (earthtimes.org)
