Made from 100% recycled glass, these tiles can be used on walls or countertops. According to the manufacturer, the production of each tile uses 50% less energy than the production of similarly sized ceramic tiles and 75% less energy than cast-glass tiles. Available in 36 colors and two finishes (matte and gloss), each tile is handmade. The tiles are offered in a variety of sizes and styles (including trim and border pieces). Price is $22 - $60 for glossy and $40 - $78 for matte finishes (March 2005).
