Mission: Frost

Glass Recycled's mission is to upcycle.

Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.

When Glass Recycled took on "Mission: Frost" on it was no surprise to me that the owner wouldn't let hundreds of bottles enter their local landfill. That's when the frosted bottles entered the door of Glass Recycled's warehouse. The beauty and thickness of the glass was intriguing. Crushing a few bottles allowed more and more ideas to flow once we properly disposed the internal fluid. The opportunity was given to us from a local warehouse. Believe it or not we received a call from HGTV, due to our featured product on the show. The president of the warehouse defiantly did the right thing when she contacted the founder and owner of Glass Recycled.


The president was instructed to discard these bottles into the landfill by the manufacture. Its pretty crazy that we are making such a huge effort to go green by recycling in our homes and in public facilities and the people who mass produce do not contribute. I now question each and every company and what they do to make their company green.

Glass Recycled is making up for all those who not taking responsible actions by turning glass into beautiful counter tops... Imagine the possibilities!
