Glasscrete is a mixture of recycled glass of many colors, bound in a non toxic cementious matrix. It's creation is a detailed process of casting, curing, shaping and hand polishing to a glistening stonelike surface. This process allows us to create any shape, any color, any thickness. There is no limit to the design possibilities. Glasscrete has a broad range of appearances, from a subdued natural stone look, to a festive mixture of brilliant reflective colored glass. Some options are colored bands of inlaid glass, veins of different colors, inlaid stones or special treasures. This beautiful, functional art can be the highlight of any room. Glasscrete is 80-85% recycled glass from local ...

My salutes to Mr Narayana Murthy and Mr Mashelkar! Today in Economic Times the brain storming article having same heading made me really excited and highly hopeful towards future of application of researches in science and technology in commercial field.As in my whole career I felt that its lagging too much in our country (except southern parts of India).Whatever researches are going on in big government institutes remain in journals and proceedings of seminars.Very few come up in application.While crores of rupees are spent every year by many funding sectors viz; UGC,CSIR,DBT and many more. Today after reading views of Mr Narayan Murthy and Mr Mashelkar I felt really supportive from their side as I have requested in many seminars and meetings about this innovation. Mr Narayan Murthy: What we really require is science,technology and innovation policy.Innovation is mind to market,concept to commercialisation.In the rest of the world you see that is happening.
