RINATO
is a new green line recycled
glass made in the terrazzo tradition. Previously destined for landfill, bottles, windows, and vehicle glass is recycled or
“re-born” as raw material for RINATO. Rinato offers the
design flexibility of terrazzo with the environmental benefits of 100%
recycled glass. That’s not all... the cement matrix which binds the
glass in RINATO also includes recycled fly ash and slag to help fortify the cement and replace non-renewable and petrochemical based resources.
RINATO is appropriate for traditional and contemporary designs alike. The
color palette includes neutral earth tones as well as pastel and
primary colors not typically available in other countertop surfaces. The
design options don’t stop there. Much like terrazzo, RINATO may be
custom designed to compliment your interior. Applications include kitchen countertops and backsplashes,
bathroom vanities, table tops or any interior surfaces. Much like
natural stone or quartz surfacing, RINATO is made in a factory within
500 miles of Chicago, which qualify it for LEED points.
