Please excuse the cheesy headline but it's true, recycled glass as a building material has made its way to flooring. Joining the fellow eco-friendly flooring types of bamboo, cork, and reclaimed wood. Recycled glass is a completely eco-friendly material because it's 100% recycled. It's often used to manufacture beautiful countertops, glass tile mosaics, accents and now it comes in the form of large tiles or pieces intended for flooring. A recycled glass flooring product currently available on the market is called GlassPLANK, it's manufactured by Glass Recycled Surfaces of Dallas, TX.
Glass Recycled Surfaces uses recycled glass bottles and discarded porcelain fixtures to manufacture flooring, countertops, and even a mulch for landscaping. They claim that their recycled glass flooring is as durable and will last as long as standard tile flooring. Their unique recycled glass mulch is both environmentally friendly and visually appealing. Pricing for recycled glass flooring is a little on the higher side but hopefully the market will expand and the cost will go down.
