Process

eluna is produced from 100% glass, which we recycle with nothing else added.

Low value waste glass is taken out of the 'waste stream' from bottle banks and other sources. All sorts of glass is used including green, blue and clear bottles as well as more unusual glass such as Cathode Ray Tube (i.e. glass from TV screens and computer monitors), test tubes and car side windows.

The glass is first broken into small particles, called cullet, and is then fired in moulds in special kilns and finished to a high standard to create functional, visually stunning and durable surfaces.

Using moulds there is the possibility of incorporating low relief raised patterns, including logos and the material can be cut, ground, polished and textured.

The fusing of glass cullet in this kiln firing produces a semi-translucent to an opaque material with variable random marble-like patterns based on the cullet size used.

The qualities of colour, translucency, opacity and pattern are dependent upon the different formulas in the firing process and the types of waste glass used.
