These grades are reused to produce strong, weatherproof products such as lights, flooring, furniture and many, many more.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Diana Simpson, the founder of the company, says: \u201cThe reason I decided to use glass as the first material to focus on is because it does not lose its qualities during both recycling and the casting process we use at our upcylcing lab. Also, because of its natural texture, it is ideal for flooring solutions, and because of its translucency, it is also a great material for lighting and under-lit applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Diana is currently finishing an installation for Veolia UK&#8217;s London offices, where she has taken the symbol of the iceberg to create a series of white structures and lights using clear glass waste.
