Terrazzo

Terrazzo is made with finely grounded aggregates, such as chips of marble, faux marble, quartz, granite, or glass, all held together by a cement or resin binder. The beautiful part is that many of these components are recycled, making Terrazzo an environmentally friendly choice. For instance, glass terrazzo is made from discarded car windshields, mirrors, beer bottles, recycled porcelain from kitchen sinks, and even crushed oyster shells. The combination of sources varies; all of it can be mixed and matched depending on desired colors, patterns, or textures.
