Sandhill is an Alaskan company that was awarded a grant from the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation to develop an innovative glass-fusing technology which utilizes 100% recycled glass. The outcome of a two year research project resulted in the Sandhill's glass tile line. Not only are the products made from 100% recycled glass, which is otherwise destined for landfills, each tile takes half as much energy to produce as a ceramic tile, and one fourth the energy it takes to produce a cast-glass tile. :: Sandhill Industries
