Countertops made from recycled glass bottles have been gaining popularity for the past several years, and seem like a great option for adding some style and sustainability to a project. The use of recycled glass creates a material that can look subdued and professional, or colorful and playful (along with the full spectrum of variations in between). Since we create hundreds of tons of glass bottles every year, this material is also quite plentiful. It may even be possible to create fully custom contertops, where specific colors and the size of the glass pieces could be selected to match the specific project.
Maintenance is easy with Recycled Glass Counrtertops, requiring onlya soft cloth and an all purpose cleaner.
There are a several companies that create Recycled Glass Countertops located around the US:
