Terre de verre is a research project aimed at recovering the waste generated during glass recycling by reintroducing it into a more sustainable cycle.
Despite a high recyclability rate, glass recycling currently produces a waste called “glass fines”, whose composition, incompatible with industrial standards, leads to its burial.
Drawing on the expertise of glassmaking and ceramics, the processing of this trash results in a lightweight, durable material with a low environmental impact, which can be used to manufacture various objects, such as furniture or coatings. Unlike existing projects addressing glass recycling, no resin, binder, or other material is added here. The recovered material, considered non-recyclable waste, is used as is, allowing for the creation of objects made from 100% recycled glass.
