Push Pull

Vetrazzo, developed in Berkeley, Calif., in 1996, was one of the first countertop products to reuse local glass headed for the waste stream. Now the Cradle to Cradle–certified company is producing drawer knobs and pulls made of the same inert material, which is ideal for outdoors. Consisting of 85 percent recycled glass and 15 percent modified Portland cement, the glass comes from wine, beer, and mineral water bottles from curbside recycling programs, as well as old traffic lights, stemware, and architectural window glass. Available in 25 colors, these sparkling accessories offer a choice of five styles and eight finishes. Polycor Vetrazzo. www.vetrazzo.com
