Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If you’re into incorporating green materials into your home, then you’ll probably dig the idea of a company that keeps damaged automobile windshields out of landfills. Instead the glass is recycled and turned into useful items such as shower enclosures.

Portland-based Second Glass recovers junk windshields and re-manufactures them into “a range of high quality uses. Windshields take a lot of landfill space. And new glass manufacturing contributes to global warming. Second Glass is a good example of the classic goals in waste elimination – reduce, reuse, recycle.”

And, hey, guests will be sure to take note of the interesting texture to your glass shower enclosure!

Other uses for the recycled windshield glass include walls, dividers, fronts, partitions, and lighting.
