Sustainability
In 2007 a state of the art glass production facility was built from the ground up, maintaining Oceanside Glasstile’s standards of reduce, reuse, recycle. Annually they use more than 2 million pounds of recycled bottle glass and in 2009 they reformulated more than 20 colors, now with up to 97% recycled content. A co-processing partnership has allowed them to almost completely eliminate their manufacturing waste from going to a landfill. Oceanside Glasstile’s energy efficient plant also utilizes a closed loop furnace system – instead of releasing the heat given off by the furnaces, the chimneys follow a path right back into the furnace, ensuring all heat expelled is captured again to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their energy efficiency. As is evident in their product and company values, they are committed to ongoing process advancements and environmental stewardship.
