In terms of ecology, BROKIS has come a long way
since it was established in 2010. The BROKISGLaSS
project was established to reuse waste glass through
recycling. arising from the ecological manufactur-
ing practices of Janštejn Glassworks and BROKIS,
it resulted in the creation of an innovative material
made of glass shards discarded in the manufacture
of BROKIS glass lighting collections. The project cur-
rently produces ten tons of new flat glass each week.
BROKISGLaSS has brought about a significant
reduction in waste material. The transformation of
these shards into a new decorative product rep-
resents 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 cultivation of a healthy rela-
tionship between nature and humans. The next step
involves procedures for new glass blends that can be
added to other materials, such as concrete, in order
to achieve 100% reuse of waste glass shards. These
materials are already being applied in the new Overlay
collection.
BROKISGLaSS makes use of discarded glass
while reducing the brand’s environmental impact
and providing a highly distinctive aesthetic ele-
ment with endless possibilities for lighting design
and architecture.
