Blue Box Glass

Recycled glass that's breaking barriers in concrete products to facilitate sustainable design

Most people are probably unaware that certain types of coloured glass can't be used to manufacture new glass products. Despite everyone's efforts to be environmentally conscious and put bottles in their blue box, unfortunately many still end up in landfills. One of the most positive things about our green concrete products is that we have developed a way to use that “unusable” glass. 

We've done this with Poraver® technology, a refined form of post-consumer recycled glass which we use to make durable, environmentally responsible concrete products. To put this in perspective, even just 1% post-consumer recycled glass content in each of our products will save 1.9 million glass bottles from landfills each year, and many of our products contain up to 30%of this green resource from your blue box.



Concrete products that are good for your planet and good for your project

Concrete made using Poraver® is innocuous to ASTM C227 testing for ASR or alkali-silica reactivity, making it an excellent choice for use with concrete.

In addition to doing the right thing for the environment, products enhanced with Poraver® are cost efficient, offer excellent performance, consistent quality, and meet or exceed all industry standards. They are non-toxic, non-combustible, mold-proof, odourless, chemically stable, unaffected by moisture, and free of any airborne silica. Plus, they provide excellent noise and heat insulation and have a high fire-resistance rating.
