Recycled glass

Not every broken article is unusable. On the contrary, you can recycle damaged products to decorate your home in a sustainable way.

Why do we recycle glass?

Glass recycling is so important in our time because the production of glass requires less energy and is therefore more environmentally friendly. De Glas uses 75% less energy in recycling than in the production of new raw materials. On the other hand, if you wanted to remove the glass, you would have to wait over a million years. That is why recycling is a sustainable alternative to the disposal of used glass.
One of the most important properties of glass is flexibility and easy deformability without sacrificing quality.


How is the glass recycled?

Before the glass can be melted in the oven, some preparation has to be done. First the glass is sorted by color and arranged in groups.

It is then melted one after the other in the oven and mixed with certain powders, which are then responsible for a certain color. The glass is then brought into the desired shape using a blowpipe and cooled.

Decoration ideas made from recycled glass

Recycled glass is used to manufacture many environmentally friendly products that can give many households a new flair. Try it yourself and place colored vases on the shelves of your living room, for example. You will immediately feel a sense of relaxation and serenity.

Of course you can also use these exclusive glass products as candle holders. They create a certain romantic atmosphere both at the dining table during the candlelight dinner and in the bedroom.
