Crafted by artisans using centuries-old techniques, Echo Recycled Glass captures, refracts, and bends light in a manner reminiscent of sunlight playing on water. Its luminous color palette comprises 15 luxuriant shades created by Barbara Schirmeister, one of the industry’s most esteemed color experts.

With a recycled content of 10 to 100 percent, depending on color, Echo Recycled Glass, is an exquisite addition to Crossville’s collection of third-party certified recycled products, which include EcoCycle and Color Blox EC. Used alone or in conjunction with Crossville’s other recycled products, Echo Recycled Glass is a beautifully green alternative.

Kate-Lo Tile & Stone is pleased to offer a new line of recycled stone and glass agglomerate called Q. Produced by Trend USA, Q, is scratch, heat, stain and water resistant and is strong enough for any surface application for both residential and commercial use.

Inspired by the calm beauty found in nature the new colors are evocative of organic hues ranging from the robin's egg blue, to stalks of wheat and mustard blossoms. The collection of 49 Trend Q colors contain up to 72% post consumer recycled content integrated with glass from recycled beer, gin, and water bottles, copper infused Aventurina and mother of pearl to add sparkle and depth. Trend Q, available from 12" tiles to custom size panels, works on any surface-floors, countertops, walls, even furniture. The flexible 1/4" thin material makes it a perfect choice for remodeling, as it can be installed over existing surfaces making demolition and waste obsolete.

Manufactured in the United States, Trend Q is designed to offer an ecologically conscious product with the critical characteristics necessary to contribute to LEED certification.
