Bedrock 100% Recycled Glass Tiles

Bedrock-tiles.jpgMany think that ‘recycled’ automatically means ugly. Here be proof it simply ain’t so. Bedrock make some stunning looking tiles, which are made completely of recycled glass. No pigment is added to get their lovely rich hues and shades, just tons of glass that was headed for the landfill. Whilst a for-profit business they do operate a host of community programs, including a bottle drive with a local school that returns funds for student field trips. Their Blazestone Tile collection has nearly 30 colours and almost 40 shapes. Also on offer is a wide range of homewares, like candle holders, platters and coasters made from recycled glass. Wilma and Betty would love them. Thanks to Michelle W, a previous winning tipster, for this one too. ::Bedrock Industries

That's a great product but if you like it you'll probably like the Green Bottle Company in the UK. They're making tiles, paving stones and countertop slabs from old glass bottles.
See www.green-bottle.co.uk for the rich variety of colour and texture they've created. I'm set on getting the Amber colour for a kitchen counter one day because it has such depth.

Nice product, but my, is it dear. 2x2's will come to US$80-150 per square foot. You can get Bisazza for much less (I never thought I'd say that!).

I don't object to eco-friendly companies making a profit, in fact I think it's the only way we'll see recyclables go mainstream in our lifetime. I'd like to see all of the Fortune 500 find a way to reduce and reuse, and have it contribute to their bottom line.
