These glass tiles are manufactured in a similar manner to conventional products except that energy consumption for the processing of raw materials has been reduced because they contain recycled glass (the percentage depends on color). However, energy consumption is still greater than some other products. Extraction impacts are also reduced by the use of recycled wastes.
