Sustainability and Your Glassware

A common issue at all restaurants is waste of all types. Restaurant managers spend a lot of time trying to tackle food waste, labor costs and utilities, but one area that is often overlooked is glassware breakage. Glassware is delicate and constantly needs replacing. It is expensive to replace as well. Switching to fully tempered glass is an option that will pay for itself in the long run. Fully tempered glass utilizes a production method that uses heat to strengthen the glass making it more resistant to breakage.
