Welcome to BioGlass.org : A source of information for the research and development of eco-efficient glass studios world wide.
BioGlass™ MISSION:
The research, development and potential utilization of renewable fuel sources and community resources to create eco-efficient glass-making techniques with a new perspective in the art glass studio, which simultaneously aids to help glass artists make more profit, and to protect the environment.
Members of BioGlass intend to provide product development, new equipment, education, outreach and incubation programs for artists. In doing so, we shall protect the glass making heritage that is more than 6,000 years old that is currently threatened by cost and limitations of fossil fuels.
In developing new habits and glass making techniques, the ancient tradition may continue into the future with opportunities for economic development in arts and eco-tourism industries as well as improving education for both artists and admirers of glass.
In this site you will find research results and links to engineering sites and websites of glass studios who are pursuing the same goals.
Please join our discussion page for specific conversation topics including alternative fuel sources, recuperation, and recycled glass.
