Switch on to the eco-friendly aggregate,
and watch old TV screens turn your
landscapes green
T
his year sees the launch of one of
the cleanest, greenest and most
original products ever to hit the
landscaping market: Glasglo, a
durable aggregate made entirely from
recycled TV screens.
It’s the brainchild of Restructa, a leading
waste management company based in
Scotland who specialise in recycling TVs,
computers and other WEEE equipment.
Determined to find a use for old television
panels, they devised a unique process
and ingenious design to create the
striking and versatile Glasglo product. It’s
already proving hugely popular for private
gardens and public places, with driveways,
edgings and roundabouts just some of the
outdoor spaces now transformed by the
smooth and transparent glass pieces.

Part of Glasglo’s appeal is undoubtedly
aesthetic – it glistens in the rain, shimmers
in the sun and looks absolutely stunning
when illuminated with clear or coloured
lighting.
However, it’s also Glasglo’s quirkiness and
eco-friendly nature that’s capturing the
imagination - and easing the conscience
- of home owners, contractors and local
authorities across the country.
Glasglo is extremely pure and Restructa
ensure no leftovers are sent to landfill
- good news for both local wildlife and
the wider environment. Glasglo is also
completely safe, just smooth pieces of
glass that bring a bit of style and vintage
charm to your landscapes.
From parks and gardens, ponds and
artificial lakes, new estates and urban
design features, Glasglo can even be
used as a substrate around statues or as
a topping in cemeteries. Available also
in a powder format, it’s useful for the
construction industry too as a sharp sand,
drain fill, sub-base or epoxy resin.
Glasglo is readily available in various
quantities and packed in pre-weighed
bags up to 1 tonne. Restructa also offer
free kerb-side delivery throughout Central
Scotland, with delivery charges available
on request for other areas throughout the
UK.
