BROKISGLASS
Description
BROKISGLASS is a product of the ecological manufacturing practices of Janštejn Glassworks and BROKIS, whose close collaboration has given rise to a unique new material made of glass shards. BROKISGLASS adds an exciting new dimension and aesthetic to glass. Made from shards of glass discarded during the manufacture of BROKIS handblown glass lighting collections, BROKISGLASS has brought about a significant reduction in waste material. The transformation of these shards into a new decorative product represents an environmentally friendly and efficient upcycling of material, thanks to which the glassworks is able to employ a strategic circular economy and thus contribute to the creation of a healthy relationship between nature and humans. In the manufacture of lighting glass, which Janštejn Glassworks specializes in, one third of each handblown piece is discarded. This valuable material resource (glass shards) is typically seen as waste. The development of BROKISGLASS was driven by a need to change the perception of these glass shards as waste, which previously was hauled to a landfill and thus burdened the planet and had a negative impact on the environmental landscape
