EnviroGLAS™ TerrazzoEnviroGLAS™ Terrazzo is flooring made of 100% post-consumer recycled glass. Recycled glass bottles are crushed, mixed with an epoxy, and poured to form a very appealing surface.

Terrazzo, from the Italian word for terraces, was created several hundred years ago in Europe when Venetian workers discovered a new use for discarded marble remnants.

EnviroGLAS™ Terrazzo is the latest Terrazzo innovation — in lieu of marble and synthetic materials, terrazzo applicators and designers can use an abundance of recycled glass.
