Environmentally Friendly Glass
At Escape Glass, we're all about being kind to the environment while creating beautiful products. Glass is a green option because it's mainly made from silica, which comes from sand – a resource that's practically endless. Our slumped glass gives you stunning textures without harming the planet. We don't use any plastics or resins, so when you choose our glass, you're making a natural, eco-friendly choice.
How We Do It
We get our glass from Viridian New Zealand and focus on using recycled materials whenever possible. The glass we use can have up to 30% recycled content, helping to cut down on waste. When glass gets tempered, it can’t be cut again, but instead of throwing it away when it's damaged or scratched, we have a clever process to de-temper it, meaning we can reshape and reuse it for future projects. This means less waste and more eco-friendly production.
Why Choose Our Glass?
Our slumped glass isn’t just about looking good – it’s practical too. It allows natural light and warmth to flow through, which means you could end up using less artificial lighting and heating. It's a win for both your space and the environment!
Easy to Clean
One of the best parts? Our glass is super low-maintenance. The textured or sealed surfaces stay looking fresh for years, so you won’t need to replace it anytime soon. That also means less glass ending up in landfills, which is another environmental bonus.
At Escape Glass, we're constantly looking for ways to improve our processes and reduce waste. By choosing our glass, you're making a sustainable choice that looks great and lasts.
