Glimmer Glass Ruffle Plates

Why We Love It

Glass containers are 100% recyclable, and because glass can be recycled infinitely without disturbing the purity or quality of the material, it is an ideal candidate for reuse. Old glass is first made into cullet, or crushed glass, and then melted down to create new products. Because cullet melts at a lower temperature than the virgin materials used in glass, 40% less energy is consumed when making new products from cullet. These pieces are made in the U.S.A from 91% post-consumer glass.

Handmade

Made or prepared by hand rather than by machine. Industrial manufacturing is a significant contributor to global warming and other pollution. The sale of handmade goods supports small-scale, independent artists and crafters who generally operate more sustainably than big businesses. Handmade items are skillfully crafted with detail, each one slightly varied.

Made in the USA

Domestically manufactured goods eliminate the emissions and other environmental costs associated with foreign manufacturing and overseas transport.

Recycled

Made from old materials that have been collected, sorted and processed into raw material. The recycling stream uses what would otherwise become waste to make new products, reducing the consumption of virgin resources and the pollution generated with waste disposal.
