Nakshi Glass: Transforming Waste into Art
Nakshi Glass, led by the talented Betty, specializes in creating stunning mosaic creations from recycled glass. This process not only reduces waste but also breathes new life into discarded materials. By using recycled glass, Nakshi Glass prevents these materials from ending up in landfills. The glass is collected, cleaned, and then melted down to be reshaped and repurposed. The recycled glass transforms into beautiful mosaics. These unique pieces are not only visually striking but also serve as a testament to the potential of repurposed materials. Every step, from recycling to molding and creating new shapes, is designed to minimize environmental impact while producing high-quality, sustainable art.
