Glass Recycling

Glass is the main component in our extensive array of products, with characteristic that make it unique, safe and indispensable in life. Since its founding, Vitro has taken advantage of one of the greatest advantages of glass, which is that it is 100% recyclable. Although we use some virgin raw material, we also make the most of the cullet (glass waste) gleaned from our internal processes and from external suppliers.
